* Indicates a statistically significant value.
DMG = diffuse midline glioma, H3K27-altered; DSC = dynamic susceptibility contrast; DSC-MRI = dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging; DWI = diffusion-weighted imaging; nADCmean = normalized mean apparent diffusion coefficient; nrCBF = normalized relative cerebral blood flow; nrCBV = normalized relative cerebral blood volume; PA = pilocytic astrocytoma; PSR = percentage signal recovery.
** Other: cerebellum (n = 9) in PA; septum pellucidum (n = 1) and basal ganglia (n = 1) in DMG (H3.3)
