Reproducibilty of the flow histogram

Coefficient of variation of repeated measures
Aspect of histogram Sample average (SD) (% of mean)
Avascular zone (% of pixels) 15.3 (4.5) 22.9
Flow in specific pixels
 25th percentile 90 (46) 49.1
 50th percentile 272 (55) 16.9
 75th percentile 510 (98) 14.3
 90th percentile 784 (142) 15.4
 95th percentile 991 (187) 16.8
 99th percentile 1532 (380) 21.5
 100th percentile 3031 (1073) 25.3
Mean flow 357 (85) 16.3
  • Indicates significantly greater coefficient of variation (p <0.05) than measured at 75th percentile pixel.
