Apparent diffusion coefficient and fractional anisotropy values in ductal plate malformation patients versus controls
| Factor | CHF | PCK + Caroli | PCK + CHF | Solitary kidney + CHF | Control | Test of significance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liver ADC | 1.29 ± 0.35 | 1.32 ± 0.23 | 1.89 ± 0.27 | 1.02 ± 0.0 | 1.915 ± 0.19 | F = 15.16 p < 0.001* |
| Liver FA | 0.242 ± 0.101 | 0.297 ± 0.238 | 0.263 ± 0.141 | 0.293 ± 0.0 | 0.206 ± 0.0 | F = 0.232 p = 0.873 |
ADC – apparent diffusion coefficient, FA – fractional anisotropy
