z-coverage = 4cm corresponds to the main simulation study where we input 15 PAR images with z-resolution = 2.5mm. z-coverage = 1cm corresponds to the shorter z-coverage study where we input 15 PAR images with z-resolution = 0.625mm.
means statistically significant larger (p<0.05 by a one-tailed paired t-test).
