Figure 2

Average subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness. Wireframe plot of the average subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (N = 12) at the final scan session, over one side of the body surface. The x-axis, labeled "Measure point", shows position along the circumference of the pig (zero is dorsal and 101 is ventral). The z-axis, labeled "Slice number" describes distance along the length of the pig (zero is caudal, 101 is cranial). The y-axis, labeled "Thickness (mm)" shows the depth of skin plus subcutaneous adipose tissue in mm. The colour drape indicates correlation between skin plus subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness and total subcutaneous adipose tissue volume. Correlation coefficient values < 0.8 have been truncated to 0.8 for this figure, so that the full colour scale can be applied to values between 0.8 and 1.
