RBC velocity as a function of vessel diameter in normal choroid (A) and in choroidal melanoma (B). Each rat is denoted by a different symbol, and each symbol represents a separate vessel. Solid line: linear regression for the data from all the rats. In normal choroid: RBC velocity = 0.011 × diameter + 0.298, n = 153 vessels in five rats, r = 0.299, P = 0.0002. In choroidal melanoma: RBC velocity = 0.0018 × diameter + 0.511, n = 55 vessels in six rats, r = 0.057, P = 0.679. Note that the scales on the ordinate axes differ.
