aAbbreviations used are: renal corpuscle (RC), glomerulus (GM), parietal layer (PL), Bowman’s space (BS), low-density regions in the glomerulus (LDR), high-density regions in the glomerulus (HDR).
bMultiplied value of the voxel volume (0.154 μm3) by the number of voxels.
cRelative threshold calculated based on Eq. 3.
dPopulation standard deviation is given in parenthesis.
