Characteristics of the TGT and TG (n = 17).

	MIN	MAX	First quartile	Median	Third quartile	95% CI	Mean ± SD
S (mm^2)	15.4	51.6	20.5	24.6	29.1	(9.3, 41.3)	25.1 ± 8.2
s (mm^2)	2.5	5.4	4.0	4.4	4.9	(2.7, 5.8)	4.3 ± 0.8
L1 (mm)	2.0	3.0	2.5	2.6	2.8	(2.1, 3.1)	2.6 ± 0.3
L2 (mm)	1.4	2.4	1.9	2.0	2.2	(1.5, 2.6)	2.0 ± 0.3
s/S (%)	6.0	28.6	15.0	18.3	19.8	(7.7, 28.4)	18.2 ± 5.3

S: area of the TG; s: area of the TGT; L1: long diameter of the TGT; L2: short diameter of the TGT; s/S: ratio of the area of the TGT to that of the TG; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval for the mean (lower and upper limits).
