Fig. 4From: Mass recalibration for desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging using endogenous reference ionsScatter plot representing the bootstrapping results for the median difference between the mass relative errors in the original and recalibrated datasets. Each dataset is characterized by its \(\stackrel{\sim }{\Delta }\) value (calculated following the method described in Additional file 1: Section S6) and the significance value of the bootstrapping test. Most datasets show a significant reduction of the test masses absolute error, with values up to about 60 ppmBack to article page
