Imaging Feature 3T MRI 1.5T MRI P value

Morphology 1.0
 Mass N=3 (30%) N=2 (20%)
 Non-mass enhancement N=7 (70%) N=8 (80%)

Initial enhancement
 Mean peak enhancement (%) 173.8 118.2 0.08
 Mean percent medium (%) 66.7 80.2 0.12
 Mean percent rapid (%) 33.3 19.8 0.12

Delayed enhancement

 Mean percent plateau (%) 23.2 21.0 0.05
 Mean percent washout (%) 22.2 16.1 0.22

Abbreviations: T: tesla

P values were determined by Wilcoxon signed-rank test except morphology comparison, which was determined by Fisher’s Exact test.
