  1. Mean ± SD of TSA values from parenchyma and vessel classes of 1D-, 2D-, and MIX-FCM clustering for both OP and SA schemes. This shows the 2D-FCM method to be significantly more accurate than 1D-FCM for vessel segmentation only, while MIX-FCM method yields a superior result over both individual component methods and for both anatomic segmentations
