Figure 1
Box and Whiskers diagram showing relationship between mean lesion diameter of the adenoma group and the number of nuclear texture features separating significantly adenomas and carcinomas. Nine texture variables had been tested in each case. The number of those revealing significant differences in a t-test (P < 0.05) was plotted on the y-axis. With increasing size of the adenomas the chromatin architecture of adenomas is more different to that of carcinomas (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient r = 0.72; P < 0.0001).
