Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Note that the data generated by fluorescence imaging technologies (FRI, FMT) correlate well with in in vivo (VVF) and ex vivo (BVDP) surrogate markers of tumour angiogenesis. ^aCalculated 24 hours after intravenous injection of SIDAG. ^bMeasured using magnetic resonance imaging. AU, arbitrary units; BVP, blood vessel profile; BVPD: blood vessel profiles density; FMT, fluorescence-mediated tomography; FRI, fluorescence reflectance imaging; VVF, vascular volume fraction.
