Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to assess the temporal change in liposome diameter between ICG-liposomes and control blank liposomes. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate the results of encapsulation over time as well as the repeat light exposure experiment. Differences in the temperature change produced by ICG-liposomes and blank liposomes were compared with a two-tailed t-test, as were the differences each group’s photothermal response had on the change in gelatin’s mechanical properties. The SPSS statistical software package 24.0 for Windows (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Significance was established by a value of p < 0.05. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD).

The statistical significance of differences between groups during immersion testing was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc analysis. The SPSS statistical software package 24.0 for Windows (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Significance was established by a value of p < 0.05. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD).
