Table 2 Analysis of the conversion factor for different data sets, separating out the 20-cm cylinder phantom from the liter bottles scans. The 20-cm cylinder phantom is also analyzed with and without the tissue equivalent material. The 1-L results are also analyzed separately

  1. For an analysis of the variance (ANOVA), shown in Table 3, the following groups where compared:
  2. Group 1: 20-cm phantom and the 1-L bottle
  3. Group 2: 20-cm phantom and the 20 cm with TEM
  4. Group 3: 20-cm phantom and the complete set of liter bottles (1, 2, 4)
