Table 2.

Generalized linear regression analyses were applied to test for differences in relative volume of the long-$T_2^{\ast }$ component between the MS patients and controls. Tests were performed for different brain regions and corrected for age and sex. A positive coefficient indicates a larger volume in the patient group. CI: confidence interval.
