  1. The MCI per organ (diaphragm, liver, peritoneum, digestive tract) is determined in mice by the following formula: totalĀ scoreā€‰=ā€‰noduleĀ maximalĀ diameterĀ scoreā€‰Ć—ā€‰noduleĀ numberĀ score. The diameter score corresponds to the maximal nodule diameter (from non-visible nodules to nodules up to 2 mm diameter or over). The number score corresponds to the number of nodules in the organ (from 1-5 nodules up to 25 nodules or over).
