* The results illustrate the type of studies that can be carried out with IMAGE. They are based on recent IMAGE assessments (see [[Applications]]), and where possible taken from peer-reviewed literature or PBL reports. Therefore, the underlying baselines may vary throughout the book. | * The results illustrate the type of studies that can be carried out with IMAGE.
