The modified Allen's test is also performed prior to heart bypass surgery. The radial artery is occasionally used as a conduit for bypass surgery, and its patency lasts longer in comparison to the saphenous veins. Prior to heart bypass surgery, the test is performed to assess the suitability of the radial artery to be used as a conduit.

An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, or arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. An ABG test requires that a small volume of blood be drawn from the radial artery with a syringe and a thin needle , [ 1 ] but sometimes the femoral artery in the groin or another site is used.
Watzke-Allen test is a test used in the diagnosis of a macular hole. It is a subjective test based on photoreceptor displacement. [1] Test can be used to differentiate full thickness macular hole from other similar conditions and also to assess retinal function after surgical closure of the hole. [2] [3]
The modified Allan variance (MVAR), [2] also known as mod σ y 2 (τ), is a variable bandwidth modified variant of Allan variance, a measurement of frequency stability in clocks, oscillators and amplifiers. Its main advantage relative to Allan variance is its ability to separate white phase noise from flicker phase noise.
The explicit midpoint method is sometimes also known as the modified Euler method, [1] the implicit method is the most simple collocation method, and, applied to Hamiltonian dynamics, a symplectic integrator. Note that the modified Euler method can refer to Heun's method, [2] for further clarity see List of Runge–Kutta methods.
In statistics, the Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test (CMH) is a test used in the analysis of stratified or matched categorical data. It allows an investigator to test the association between a binary predictor or treatment and a binary outcome such as case or control status while taking into account the stratification. [ 1 ]
The Tecumseh step test is an exercise test that researchers use to determine a person's cardiovascular fitness level. The Tecumseh step test is a modified version of the Harvard Step Test , [ 1 ] and was developed by Professor Henry J. Montoye at the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan.
