Table 1.
This table lists the pixel intensities of the three nodules shown in Figure 4A. Mean, SD, Maximum, and Z-scores are given. The Z-scores show that the maximum pixel intensity in the location of the visualized nodules is always at least 2.9 SD above the mean, indicating that the presumed 1–4 pixel nodules are not likely to be due to image noise.
