Figure 2. Micro-CT Findings Correlate Robustly With Established Methods of Measuring Murine Cardiac Function.

Figure 2

(A and B) Volumes derived from micro-CT image analysis correlate well with dimensions measured using echocardiography and volumes assessed with the conductance catheter (CC) in both systole and diastole. (C) Echocardiography measurements of chamber length correlated well with volumes derived from CC measurements. (D) In vivo functional measurements from micro-CT and echocardiography correlated well with a r2 value of 0.72. LVFS = left ventricular fractional shortening; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
