Figure 6.
Bar charts show differences in anti-angiogenic treatment effects based on data analysis of various 1-mm planes versus 3D USMI images for each of the seven tumors treated with anti-angiogenic therapy (A–G). Ratios of imaging signals after and before anti-angiogenic treatment obtained from 1-mm planes were compared to the ratios of imaging signals after and before treatment obtained from 3D imaging, and percent differences were plotted. Note that treatment response can be either over-estimated or under-estimated compared to 3D imaging. H: head (cranial part of the tumor); F: foot (caudal part of the tumor). 0: Center of the tumor. Each 1-mm plane was numbered consecutively compared to the center of the tumor in 1 mm increments.
