Region-specific comparison of in vivo (a) fluorescence and (b) diffuse reflectance spectra from the rat hearts one week after the MI induction surgery. The symbols below the spectral plots show the outcomes of the pair-wise comparison between any two groups at each wavelength. The statistical significance level was set at 0.05 in this study.
