CVS: central vein sign; CSVD: cerebral small vessel disease; MS: multiple sclerosis.
Data are given as number and percentage (%) relative to:
a
Percentage of periventricular distributed over non-periventricular distributed lesions.
b
Percentage of MS lesions with the CVS over the total number of MS lesions.
c
Percentage of periventricular distributed MS lesions with the CVS over the non-periventricular distributed MS lesions with the CVS.
d
Percentage of CSVD lesions with the CVS over the total number of CSVD lesions.
e
Percentage of periventricular distributed CSVD lesions with the CVS over the non-periventricular distributed CSVD lesions with the CVS.
