ns: nonsignificant; ⁎: p < 0.05; ⁎⁎: p < 0.0005, therefore remain significant after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. The lower portion of the table reports the significance level for pair-wise comparison between different quantification techniques. For comparisons between RSF partial volume corrected methods with their counterparts without RSF PVC (RSFvsNonRSF), the significance level is reported under the RSF column; for comparisons between brainstem referencing methods with their counterparts with the default cerebellar gray referencing (BSvsCER), the significance level is reported under the BS column; for comparisons between whole cerebellum referencing methods with their counterparts with the default cerebellar gray matter referencing (WCvsCER), the significance level is reported under the WC column; For time window comparison (4070vs3060), the significance level is reported under the 4070 column; for comparison between SUVr and BP measurements (SUVrvsBP), the significance level is reported under the SUVr column. It should be noted that comparison for a particular technical variability was only performed between otherwise equivalent techniques.
