Data were returned from 381 participants (89% response rate) and are compiled into the following tables: Page Manufacturer's Information 2 Summary Comments 3 Table 1: Examination Results 4 Table 2: Conclusions 13 Table 3: Additional Comments 78 Appendix: Data Sheet 91 This report contains the data received from the participants in this test. Since these participants are located in many countries around the world, and it is their option how the samples are to be used (e.g., training exercise, known or blind proficiency testing, research and development of new techniques, etc.), the results compiled in the Summary Report are not intended to be an overview of the quality of work performed in the profession and cannot be interpreted as such. The Summary Comments are included for the benefit of participants to assist with maintaining or enhancing the quality of their results. These comments are not intended to reflect the general state of the art within the profession. Participant results are reported using a randomly assigned "WebCode". This code maintains participant's anonymity, provides linking of the various report sections, and will change with every report.
