Jet vs conventional ventilation in histotripsy
MRI Consensus Measurements
The following line plots show the subject-wise change from conventional (Conv) to jet (Jet).
The following boxplots show the distribution of the subject-wise differences between Jet and Conv.
The mean (SD, standard deviation) measurements for each dimension are summarized below by Conv vs Jet, and compared by the paired t-test. In particular, CC measurements are significantly lower in Jet as compared to Conv.
Dimension | Conv | Jet | p |
---|---|---|---|
AP | 28.3 (3.7) | 32 (5.1) | 0.285 |
TR | 27.8 (3.1) | 27 (1.8) | 0.685 |
CC | 32.3 (3.6) | 27.8 (3.3) | 0.04 |
HistoPath TZ Measurements
Similarly, the line plots below show the subject-wise measurement change from Conv to Jet in each zone.
The boxplots below show the distribution of the subject-wise differences between Jet and Conv.
Finally, the following table summarizes the mean (SD) of measurements for each zone by Conv vs Jet and compares them by the paired t-test. In particular, superior measurements are significantly lower in Jet as compared to Conv, while anterior and posterior are borderline significantly lower.
Zone | Conv | Jet | p |
---|---|---|---|
Superior | 8.2 (2.6) | 4 (1.5) | 0.018 |
Inferior | 6.2 (4.1) | 3.3 (0.8) | 0.271 |
Anterior | 8.5 (3.7) | 3.8 (1.5) | 0.054 |
Posterior | 6.3 (2.7) | 4 (1.3) | 0.078 |
Medial | 5.8 (1.8) | 4.2 (1.3) | 0.12 |
Lateral | 6.5 (3.4) | 5.2 (1.3) | 0.825 |
