Fig. 9. Scatterplot shows longest diameter of tumor () measured
at clinical examination and at pathology after chemotherapy (n = 51).
Note five cases for which results at pathology were questionable (
).
Correlation between measurements was moderate with and without these cases
(r = 0.6 and r = 0.55, respectively; p < 0.001
for both). Clinical assessment of lesion size by palpation produced notably
less accurate lesion characterization than MR imaging. Trend line (black
line) depicts least-squares fit for data.
