For definitions of indicated parameters please refer to Imaging Processing section of Materials and Methods. Except p value, data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Unit for ADC, D and D* value is × 10-3 mm2/s. Unit for Tmax is second. ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient, AUCw = whole area under the curve, AUC60 = the initial 60-second area under the curve, Emax = the maximum amplitude of enhancement, Tmax = the time at which Emax occurs
