CE-CBBCT PROCEDURE Sample Clauses

CE-CBBCT PROCEDURE. The subjects will first have a pre-contrast CBBCT scan. Iodinated contrast will be injected intravenously, and then another CBBCT scans will be performed to capture the tumor vasculature enhancement. Features to look for are degree of enhancement pattern of the lesion as compared to surrounding pattern. Delay times and contrast volume/rate will be determined initially through previous CT studies then optimized through this CBBCT study. Each CBBCT scan takes 10 seconds and delivers a glandular dose similar to a diagnostic mammography exam. State board-certified and Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) qualified mammographers will evaluate the CBBCT high resolution 3D images and compare them to the subjects’ mammograms. If the subject had an MRI or ultrasound, then these would be compared as well. If the patient’s diagnostic outcome is BIRADS 4 and above and has biopsy or surgery, pathology will provide final confirmation. If the patient’s diagnostic outcome is BIRADS 1, 2, 3, follow up results will provide final confirmation. Physicians familiar with contrast-enhanced multislice CT procedures will be available during the CE- CBBCT procedures and will advise on modifications. Once all the projections are acquired, projections will then be used for volume reconstruction. Since a malignant tumor has many blood vessels, it will be enhanced in the post-contrast reconstructed image. The contrast enhancement of the malignant tumor will be quantified by CT number measurements. To explore dynamic contrast-enhanced vasculature patterns (wash-in, wash-out), we propose to select the scan at various delay times on different subjects with similar lesions to see if we can get preliminary data on this functional effect while keeping the dose to individual subjects low. The radiographic technique will be 49 kVp, 8 ms/projection image, and 300 images per scan. The mA will be automatically selected by the CBBCT system from 50 to 200 mA, depending on size and density of the breast. This translates to a range of average glandular dose to the breast from ~4 mGy to ~16 mGy per scan, depending on breast size and density, or similar to the subject’s diagnostic mammogram. In this study, the dose for a full two-scan contrast imaging will be ~ 8 to 32 mGy, or similar to two diagnostic mammography exams.

  • Adjustment Procedure (a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative (i) a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Merger Consideration as of the Closing Date, including an itemized statement of the Closing Working Capital and (ii) a balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date reflecting Buyer’s calculation of each of the components of the Merger Consideration (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with and used in preparing the Historical Financial Statements. (b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Closing Certificate and Closing Balance Sheet has been delivered to it to raise any objection(s) to the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet, by delivery of written notice to Buyer setting forth such objection(s) in reasonable detail (the “Disputed Items”). In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not deliver any such objection(s) with respect to the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet within such 30-day period, then the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section 2.10 and this Agreement. In the event that any such objection(s) are so delivered, the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed not final and Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disputed Items and, if they are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items within 30 days of delivery of such notice, shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter (or such earlier date as mutually agreed), submit the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital to the Independent Accounting Firm. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide to the Independent Accounting Firm all work papers and back-up materials relating to the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to the extent available to the Surviving Corporation or its Representatives, Buyer or its Representatives or the Stockholders’ Representative or its Representatives. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be afforded an opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm will (i) resolve only the outstanding Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed for any item by either party or smaller than the smallest value claimed for any item by either party, and (ii) re-calculate the Merger Consideration as of the Closing Date using the calculations set forth in the Closing Certificate, as modified only by (A) the Independent Accounting Firm’s resolution of the outstanding Disputed Items and/or (B) the written agreement of Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative. The determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days after the submission of the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital to the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative and all Securityholders. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne by the party whose positions generally did not prevail in such determination, as determined by such Independent Accounting Firm, or if the Independent Accounting Firm determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne 50% by the Stockholders’ Representative (payable solely out of the Representative Fund) and 50% by Buyer. (c) At such time as the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet shall become final in accordance with Section 2.10(b), the Merger Consideration determined in accordance with the final Closing Certificate (the “Final Merger Consideration”) shall be compared to the Estimated Merger Consideration. If the Estimated Merger Consideration is greater than the Final Merger Consideration, the Securityholders shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess (the “Adjusted Working Capital Deficiency”). Any payment to be made by the Securityholders pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) shall be made, within five (5) Business Days from the date that the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10, first by release of such amount from the Escrow Fund, second, if necessary, from the Representative Fund, and, third, if necessary, from the Securityholders (other than the holders of Dissenting Shares). If the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration, the amount by which the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration shall be referred to as the “Adjusted Working Capital Surplus”. Buyer shall pay to the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Securityholders (other than former holders of Company Vested Options who are employees of any of the Acquired Companies at the time of such payment and holders of Dissenting Shares), the portion of the Adjusted Working Capital Surplus payable to such Securityholders (net of any applicable Tax withholding amounts as contemplated by Section 2.14) within five (5) Business Days from the date that the Closing Certificate is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10. At such time, Buyer also shall make available to the Surviving Corporation the portion of the Adjusted Working Capital Surplus payable to the former holders of Company Vested Options who are employees of any of the Acquired Companies at the time of such payment and the Surviving Corporation shall make the payments to such former holders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, net of any applicable Tax withholding amounts contemplated by Section 2.14, via a regular or special payroll run, in accordance with its regular payroll practices. (d) From and after the delivery of the Closing Certificate, the Stockholders’ Representative and its accountants, lawyers and representatives will be given full access at all reasonable times to (and shall be allowed to make copies of) the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and to any personnel of the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries reasonably requested by such persons, in each case solely in connection with their review of Buyer calculations and determination of the final Merger Consideration or any dispute relating thereto. (e) If, for any reason, Buyer fails to deliver the Closing Certificate within the time period required by Section 2.10(a), the Estimated Working Capital set forth in the Estimated Closing Certificate delivered by the Company to Buyer prior to the Closing shall be considered for all purposes of this Agreement to be Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital in Buyer’s “Closing Certificate” and the Stockholders’ Representative shall have all of its rights under this Section 2.10 with respect to such certificate.
