Table 1. Laboratory parameters for staining and scanning.

The staining regime used was continuous therefore cumulative stain duration refers to the number of days the specimen was exposed to the staining solution in total whereas stain duration details the duration of exposure to the stain in that particular test round.

Sample	Stain concentration	Stain duration	Cumulative stain duration	Scan results	Recommendation
Whole, Un-skinned	7.5%	3 days	3 days	No effect on musculature	Skin specimen and stain further
Whole, Skinned	7.5%	13.5 days	16.5 days	Stain not fully perfused	Stain further with increased concentration
Whole, Skinned	20%	7.5 days	24 days	Stain not fully perfused	Stain further
Whole, Skinned	20%	7.5 days	31.5 days	Stain not fully perfused in the thigh	Stain further, with some injection of stain into thighs and body
Whole, Skinned	20%	7.5 days	39 days	Sufficient perfusion	Final scan to be conducted using the following settings: 17.64 µm resolution, 50 kV, 362 µA, 1 mm Al filter
