Comparison of median values for (a) blood flow index (BFI), (b) total haemoglobin concentration (THC), (c) tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) and (d) the reduced scattering coefficient at 785 nm obtained from the scanning system (S) and a self-calibrating optical probe (P) in seven mice. The boxplots represent the variability over the mice, visualized by median (central line), quartiles, i.e. the 25 and 75-percentiles (box edges), data range within one time of the interquartile range from the quartiles (whiskers) and all data points (crosses and stars).
