FCCS data of problematic measurements, due to cell movements and focus drifts, were automatically identified and excluded based on the following criteria: (i) if in one or two of the channels the obtained counts-per-molecule is ≤215 Hz, to ensure sufficient signal from each particle for detecting its thermal fluctuations in and out the confocal volume.

This approach, however, does not lend itself to pre-surgical risk assessment, and may be problematic because the measurements used are susceptible to distortion artefact differences between the differing MRI sequences.
