Scanning results for detection of histomorphologically healthy liver tissue and liver tumour (hepatocellular carcinoma). (a) H&E-stained section of healthy tissue of a mouse liver from a mouse type C57BL/6. (b) Cropped H&E section with k-means clustered comparison of MIR scanning and FT-IR imaging for k = 2 and k = 3. (c) H&E-stained HCC liver of mouse type BALB/c-Abcb4−/− and k-means clustered scanning results for MIR scanning and FT-IR imaging (k = 2 and k = 3). (d) IR spectrum of tumourous tissue and surrounding area. (e) Comparison of the scanning methods with regard to scanning time, data load and calculation of k-means.
