Mass density fluctuation and spatial correlation metrics for normal blood cell subpopulations and HD-CTCs. (A) Scatter plot of spatial correlation length vs. amplitude fluctuations for HD-CTCs and leukocytes from breast cancer patient. (B) Box plot comparing population averages of the axial resolved DIC amplitude fluctuations averages of the axial resolved DIC intensity spatial correlation length among PLTs, RBCs, leukocytes, and HD-CTCs. (C) Box plot comparing population averages of the axial resolved DIC intensity spatial correlation length among PLTs, RBCs, leukocytes, and HD-CTCs. ^*Denotes p < 0.001 in comparison to leukocytes.
