1Fields correspond to peripheral anatomical regions, while the 1fields categorize the central anatomical regions. The numbers which are bolded have statistically higher single-to noise ratio values than both of the other imaging systems at the given b-value and regions of interest. The numbers which have a symbol (2) have higher Single-to noise ratio (SNR) values than only the lowest SNR measurement at the given b-value and region of interest (ROI). Items which are parenthesized are values that have the second-highest SNR, but are still significantly higher than the lowest at the given b-value and ROI.
