Table 2. Tabulation of results from non-contact and contact measurements are shown for the seven mice. BFI, THC, StO2 and µs' are reported for the tumour, hind leg and foreleg areas. Differences (Diff: probe – scanner results) are reported together with corresponding statistics for paired t-tests. s.d. denotes standard deviation over the named quantity.
