Fig. 5From: Accurate assessment of LV function using the first automated 2D-border detection algorithm for small animals - evaluation and application to models of LV dysfunctionMethod comparison of Auto2DE and 2DE of cine loops stratified by image quality in diabetic animal models. a Mean image quality of diabetic cohorts and their corresponding study-controls. b Distribution of image quality levels in healthy and diabetic mice and rats. c Mean difference between Auto2DE and 2DE absolute EF and d CO values in diabetic animals and corresponding controls. The data was stratified by image quality levels prior to the calculation of mean differences. Bold-printed numbers indicate mean difference between the techniques. Numbers in brackets indicate n-numbers. Mean + SEMBack to article page
