Table 5.

Elastic contrasts computed using the mean storage moduli for the production samples vs. the mean storage moduli for the excised samples using the values in Table 4

Phantom
identity		 Elastic contrast predicted

excised samples
A 3.23 ± 0.13 3.33 ± 0.31
B 3.28 ± 0.22 3.41 ± 0.15
C 3.80 ± 0.16 3.76 ± 0.18
D 2.93 ± 0.12 2.75 ± 0.12
E 1.77 ± 0.07 1.88 ± 0.08

Standard errors in Table 4 were propagated to give standard errors for the elastic contrasts in Table 5.
