hello philippe and thomas, excuse me to intervene, in English of bad quality. in medicine for me, a result must be validated and must be signed by the producer. This result is therefore automatically a total confidence level. It is a very important notion on the legal plan when these results are put to disposition on a shared medical file (server web)
Inversely if this result is approximate, with a coefficient of mistake importing, it is not about a validated data and therefore publishable, because consequences in r?ponsabilit? for their author are unforeseeable if the patient carries complaint. I am unaware of this aspect of the problem so enters in your reflection.
