Statistical Power Estimates

Imaging Metric	Observed Standard Deviation	Minimum Detectable Absolute Difference With 6 Animals per Group	Observed Absolute Difference in Means	Sample Size Requirement per Group to Detect Observed Difference
Ki	0.033	0.053	0.001	17 095
LVM/tibia length	2.60	4.21	1.06	95
ED wall thickness	0.184	0.298	0.063	134

ED indicates end‐diastolic; Ki, rate of myocardial 2‐[¹⁸F] fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose uptake; and LVM, left ventricular mass.
