Correlation of visual consolidation assessment and histological assessment by Ashcroft scoring in animals after treatment with control vector AdDL70-3 (A, showing very low Ashcroft histology scores (i.e. no fibrosis), and low visual consolidation assessment scores) or AdTGF-β1 (B). Mean consolidation assessment values of the 3 observers are plotted against Ashcroft scores of each animal in respiratory gated and respiratory ungated exams, as indicated. Linear interpolation is given for respiratory gated and ungated exams, respectively. Note the different scaling.
