Note: Unless otherwise indicated, data in parentheses are 95 % confidence intervals; Abbreviations: nCBV = normalized relative cerebral blood volume, nCBV90 = the 90th percentile values of the cumulative nCBV histogram, proSWMRI = proportion of dark signal intensity on susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging sequences, ROC = receiver operating curve, AUC = area under ROC.

*The P value for the mean comparison of each parameter between two groups. The difference between the two groups was evaluated using Student's unpaired t-test.

† Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for identification of recurrence. Numbers in parentheses are raw data.

⊙ The AUC comparison did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.175).

¥The specificity between nCBV90 and nCBV90+proSWMRI showed significant difference by the Fisher's exact test (p = 0.046).
