TABLE 3. Statistical Analysis Between the N, A, and S Texture Features Extracted From the IMC and Plaque ROI’s at Systole (Sys) and Diastole (Dia). The Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test Was Used (N vs A, N vs S, A vs S) and Shown With (s) Significantly and (NS) Non-Significantly Different Features at p<0.05. p-Values are Shown in Parentheses.
