Table 3.

Image quality metrics of 6 patients with brain deficits on either RMCA or LMCA indicated by the rectangles in Fig. 9 and on the whole brain. Each section divided by a horizontal line is the metric values for one patient. The first row in each section is the results using Patlak model. The second row is these using the shd-Patlak model trained on cases with brain deficits in the BBBP maps. The third row is these using the shd-Patlak model trained on cased with normal brain BBBP maps. The best performance in the average value for each metric and region is highlighted with bold font. P1 is the p-value for comparison between Patlak and shd-Patlak trained on deficit cases. P2 is the p-value for the comparison between Patlak and shd-Patlak trained on normal cases. P3 is the p-value for the comparison between shd-Patlak model trained on the deficit cases and shd-Patlak trained on normal cases.
