Table 3.

Comparison of the DWI metrics ADC and DK, which showed statistical significance in the analysis of variance (Table 2), between tumours and downstream and upstream non-tumorous parenchyma.

DWI metrics Comparison of regions Mean difference Standard error P-value (Bonferroni)
Upstream parenchyma vs. tumour 0.23 0.05 <0.0001
ADC (10−3 mm2/s) Downstream parenchyma vs. tumour 0.15 0.05 0.007
Upstream vs. downstream parenchyma 0.08 0.06 0.72



Upstream parenchyma vs. tumour 0.59 0.15 <0.001
DK (10−3 mm2/s) Downstream parenchyma vs. tumour 0.52 0.13 <0.001
Upstream vs. downstream parenchyma 0.07 0.18 1

Abbreviations: ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient, DK = corrected diffusion coefficient.
