Number of lesions and vessels measured by computer assisted image analysis
Type of lesion | Number of lesions | Number of vessels | Mean vessel density (/mm2) |
Normal | 15 | 202 | 70 |
Mild dysplasia | 10 | 155 | 81 |
Severe dysplasia | 5 | 223 | 232 |
SCC grade I | 10 | 248 | 129 |
SCC grade II | 10 | 222 | 116 |
SCC grade III | 10 | 421 | 219 |
Total | 60 | 1451 | 126 |
The mean vessel density is the total number of vessels divided by the total area measured in mm2.
SCC, squamous cell carcinoma.
