7.3 Viewing & Exporting Graphical Results
To view a graph of the results:
1. In the Results tab, select an ROI.
2. Click Plot Intensity or Plot Linear Fit.
The linear fit graph plots the logarithm of the intensity, normalized to the selected
source spectrum and the filter transmission properties, against the optical property of
the tissue (μ eff ). The slope of the line is the source depth. If any of the measured points
(in red) deviate significantly from the straight line fit, then the analysis results may be
suspect. The horizontal error bars represent the uncertainty in the optical properties
(usually estimated at ±10%). The vertical error bars represent noise in the image.
The intensity graph displays a graph of the measured intensity in the selected ROI at
each wavelength in the analysis. The intensity is normalized to the selected source
spectrum and the filter transmission properties.
To export graph data:
1. Click the Export Data button .
2. In the dialog box that appears, select a directory for the data and enter a file name
(.csv).
The data can be opened in a spread sheet application such as Microsoft ® Excel ®.
