Fig. 1

The coronal section of CT images crossing the beak and cranial region of the tongue (n, a-d) with CT value plots for targeted tissues selected (e). n is the control scan, and a, b, c, and d correspond to scans after 5, 10, 34, and 49 days of staining, respectively. The straight yellow line in N-D represents the position (e) where CT values were measured (using ImageJ v1.48). The changes in CT values were used for tissue identification, correlation among scans and their referenced positions on the straight line (a-d). Line colors in E correspond to CT scans as: black-N, red-A, yellow-B, blue-C, and purple-D. Anatomical abbreviations: Cart, cartilage; Epi, epidermis
