BTC-1000TM Data Analysis Screen Measurement Parameters

Gauge Length - Initial Distance (mm) between targets.
Ultimate Pressure (shown in Pressure Graph) - Maximum amount of pressure (mmHg or kPa) applied, or required to induce failure.

Best Fit Stiffness (shown in Pressure-Normalized Deformation Graph) - Stiffness (kPa) reflects the tissue's resistance to deformation, and is defined based on the slope of the linear elastic region in the Pressure-Normalized Deformation curve.

Total Energy (shown in Pressure-Normalized Deformation Graph) - Energy Absorption (kPa) reflects the entire deformation response, thus depicts the tissue overall compliance or softness. The higher the Energy the more compliant or soft the material. The inverse, lower Energy response, demonstrates tissue firmness. Energy Absorption (kPa) represents the total area beneath the Pressure-Normalized Deformation curve.

Linear Energy (shown in Pressure-Normalized Deformation Graph) - The Linear Energy (kPa) is the area under the Pressure-Normalized Deformation curve defined by the minimum and maximum cursors.
