Median and mean ADCs of the lesions, spinal cord, and CSF

Diagnosis	ADC of lesion Median (min–max) (×10−3mm2/s)	ADC of the spinal cord Mean±SD (×10−3mm2/s)	ADC of CSF Median (min–max) (×10−3mm2/s)
Inflammatory	0.14 (0.85–2.38)	0.79±0.10	3.30 (2.73–4.84)
Noninflammatory	1.27 (0.52–2.33)	0.77±0.11	3.23 (2.25–3.71)
SCC	0.73 (0.65–1.06)	0.79±0.10	3.08 (2.37–3.65)
Non-SCC	0.72 (0.39–1.51)	0.77±0.10	3.23 (3.03–3.62)
P	<0.001a	0.841b	0.498a

Normally distributed variables are given as mean and standard deviation; non-normally distributed variables are given as median, minimum, and maximum.

ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma.
