From: Blood flow characteristics of diabetic patients with complications detected by optical measurement
Vascular tracer parameters. Top panels, toes; bottom panels, dorsum. Blood flow index (BFI) (a, e), Imax (b, f), area under the curve (AUC) (c, g) and mean transit time (MTT) (d, h) values. Values were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a post hoc Bonferroni test. The values of all parameters in the toes and dorsum in the D group were significantly different from those of the C group. The M and C group showed a similar pattern of BFI in toes and MTT; however, the BFI value in the dorsum part, and the Imax and AUC values in both parts, differed significantly between the C and M groups. The D group showed a delayed MTT value (c, g) (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
