Figure 1. Fractal dimension and lacunarity of mesothelioma subtypes.

Figure 1

(a) Hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of hyperplastic mesothelium and various malignant pleural mesothelioma subtypes, the (b) fractal dimension and (c) lacunarity of hyperplastic/benign, biphasic and epithelioid tumor samples was calculated using the FracLac ImageJ plug-in. Significant differences were detected between hyperplasia/benign control tissues and the biphasic and epithelioid subtypes, p ≤ 0.001. No significant different was detected between the biphasic and epithelioid subtypes. Results were analyzed via ANOVA with Tukey post-test. and are shown as the mean and SEM of each subtype.
