  1. Mann–Whitney U test for independent groups.
  2. *P < 0.05. Significant difference between neoplasic and non neoplasic nodes.
  3. All values are in mean (SD).
  4. Morphological parameters and fractal dimension of 23 biopsied lymph nodes. The table shows that fractal dimension was lower in neoplasic with respect to non neoplasic nodes. There were no differences in morphology parameters between neoplasic and non neoplasic images.
