  1. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) for three repeated measures and % errors in parenthesis are shown for RECIST, WHO and volume analyses. The same analysis methods as described for the Mark 1 and Mark 2 phantoms were used. Slope and intercepts [95% confidence intervals], correlation coefficient (R2) and p-value of linear regression lines for volume of test objects also are shown.
