Figure 2. Mean MSOT Signal Intensity for Oxy-hemoglobin Correlates with Colitis Severity Score.

Figure 2

Region of intensity measurements were acquired for MSOT images were correlated to a colitis severity score determined from colonoscopy images. (A) demonstrates the mean signal intensity of oxy-hemoglobin for each group (control, 2d post ETBF inoculation, 7d post ETBF inoculation). *** indicates p<0.001. (B) demonstrates the average colitis severity score for each group. *** indicates p<0.001. Error bars represent standard deviation. (C) demonstrates the correlation between mean signal intensity of oxy-hemoglobin and mean colitis severity score for the 3 mice assessed using both MSOT and colonoscopy at all three timepoints (r=0.82, p=0.013)
