Title: Establishing correlations between normal pancreatic and submandibular gland ducts
Version: 2 Date: 07 Dec 2021
Reviewer's report:
The authors evaluated the relationship between ductal morphometry and ramification patterns in
the submandibular gland and pancreas in order to validate their common fractal dimension. The
results showed that the length of the main pancreatic duct and submandibular duct correlated
well, while the caliber of the ducts did not, and the number of side branches only partly
correlated. These results provide experimental basis.
The results in this study showed that “The number of MPD side branches (mean=37) correlated
with the number of side branches of left SMD, but not with the right one (mean = 9).” Could the
authors explain the reasons of differences in the different sides?
The section of “Discussion” is too long. It could be shortened.
I suggest that this manuscript might be acceptable for publication after revision.
