For each islet, measurements are from a single H&E histological preparation or a single μMRI image. Measurements are at the widest points along the x and y axes of islets in the histological image, and of the widest points along the x, y, and z axes of islets in the MR volume-rendered image.

^⁎Islets 1 and 2 are shown in Figure 3B; islets A, B, and C are shown in Figure 3A.
