Table II.

Average temperature error across all trials of the MAPA leg and phantom experiments for several reference combinations.

Average Temperature Error (°C)
Reference Configuration Used All Leg Trials *Leg Trials 2, 3, and 4 All Phantom Trials
Inner only 1.33 0.94 0.28
Rect only 1.75 1.53 0.51
Outer only 1.82 1.37 0.37
Inner-Rect 1.00 0.52 0.20
Inner-Outer 1.05 0.44 0.13
Inner and 10 or more Outer 1.09 0.51 0.19
In-Vivo Fat Layer only 1.41 1.10 N/A

Results excluding leg trial #1 are shown for comparison since large temperature errors were seen in that single trial that are most likely due to confounding temperature changes in the leg.
