Table 1 Table showing the difference of texture features (contour analysis) in zoomed images and those without zoom. The latter were subsequently resampled to equalise their resolution (pixels/mm) with the corresponding zoomed ones, by using bilinear (BLI) or bicubic (BCI) interpolation. Percent difference with zoomed image are also shown. Statistically significant differences are highlighted.
