Quantitative Analysis of T2 Maps

	Mean Colon T2 Value [ms]	Mean Apparent Colon Thickness [mm]
Control (n = 6)	61.0 ± 2.0	0.51 ± 0.03
1% DSS—Day 7	83.3 ± 15.4*	0.49 ± 0.06
1% DSS—Day 11	88.3 ± 5.8***	0.90 ± 0.07**

Note: The quantitative analysis allows calculation of mean colon T2 and colon thicknesses, as averages across all sections, in untreated mice (n = 6) and mice treated with 1% DSS on days 7 (n = 5) and 11 (n = 5). Values are mean ± SD.

*P < .05,

**P < .005, and

***P < .0001, Student 2-tailed t test.
