(a.) Not material; intangible; incorporeal.
(a.) Not apprehensible, or readily apprehensible, by the mind; unreal; as, impalpable distinctions.
Example Sentences:
(1) Identification and localization of impalpable liver metastases is therefore possible using intraoperative ultrasonography.
(2) The positive predictive values (number of cancers detected divided by the number of biopsies recommended) were not significantly different when comparing biopsies indicated for palpable, clinically detected (34%) vs impalpable, mammographically detected (31%) abnormalities (p = .669).
(3) Increasing awareness of the value of mammography by both physicians and the public has resulted in women presenting more commonly with impalpable breast lesions.
(4) Stereotactic fine needle aspiration biopsy (SFNB) was carried out on 404 mammographically detected impalpable breast lesions from 389 women between October 1988 and January 1990.
(5) A reconsideration of the Würzburg controversy, adding closely related altered state phenomena to the transitional series between "impalpable awareness" and specific imagery, suggests that the normally masked processes underlying the "felt meaning" or "insight" state are most directly exteriorized as what Klüver termed "complex" or geometric-dynamic synaesthesias.
(6) Over a period of four years (September 1986 to September 1990), 32 impalpable testes were found in 24 cryptorchid boys at Sainte-Justine Hospital, Montreal.
(7) The review of 20 published cases reporting the appearance of impalpable primary tumours reveals that in the great majority of cases the echostructure is hypoechoic and therefore does not present any histological specificity, and that these tumours tend to be essentially seminomas or Leydig cell tumours.
(8) A simple method is described to indicate the abnormal area in breast biopsy specimens excised following mammographic localization of impalpable lesions.
