Perfusion of OM lesions in the long bones (right hind limb) and of the corresponding non-infected positions (left hind limb). Unless otherwise noted, the VOIs were spherical

^aConversion to unit mL/min/100 g may be performed by division with tissue density. According to Woodard et al. [41], tissue density is 1.05 g/cm³ for the skeletal muscle, 1.03 g/cm³ for the red marrow, 0.98 g/cm³ for the yellow marrow and 1.92 g/cm³ for the cortical bone

^bThe lesion contained sequester or developing sequester

^cCustom-drawn or elliptical VOI for irregular lesion; corresponding VOI in left limb was spherical

^dThe patella was necrotic and left out of the statistical analysis; see main text
