Regional assessment of iSLOPE and iAUCτ in the normal and diabetic average secondary EMM parameters for the tail, body and head of the pancreas in normal and diabetic animals. (a) Initial slope (iSlope) and (b) Initial area under the curve at 2 min (iAUCτ) were found to be significantly steeper and larger in the normal pancreatic tail (p < 0.05) in comparison to the diabetic, but no significance was observed in the body and head. A ‘*’ indicates statistical significance with a p < 0.05. **note: pancreatic head ROI data contained a blood vessel.
