A Comparison of Imaging Techniques to Monitor Tumor Growth and Cancer Progression in Living Animals
Figure 4
Tumor optical signal correlates with tumor volume calculated from caliper measurement. Data shown are BLI detection of luciferase-expressing tumors (, left) and FLI detection of RFP-expressing tumors (, right) in shaved mice. Only tumors displaying an optical signal above the background are shown. Tumors were derived from 4 mice each for BLI and for FLI. Tumors were imaged and tumor sizes were measured at various time points. Optical signal and tumor volume were compared using Spearman correlation.
