Fig. 3From: The potential utility of non-invasive imaging to monitor restoration of bladder structure and function following subtotal cystectomy (STC)Quantification of smooth muscle to collagen ratios using semi-quantitation of Masson’s trichrome staining. a Representative image of excised STC bladder used for quantification by choosing pixel intensity b. c Analysis shows no differences accross time, however linear regression d reveals that the amount of smooth muscle is correlated with bladder wall thickness determined via MRI (P < 0.05)Back to article page
