Table 2.

Baseline comparison of brain iron deposition (ppb [STD]) in subcortical gray matter structures between the control group and chemotherapy group.

Region Overall
N=27		 Control Group
N=13		 Chemotherapy
Group
N=14		 Difference p-value
Caudate nucleus 105.3 (12.9) 106.8 (14.4) 103.8 (11.8) −3.0 0.56
Globus pallidus 235.5 (20.4) 228.3 (10.9) 242.1 (25.1) 13.8 0.04
Putamen 159.4 (16.9) 162.9 (16.5) 156.2 (17.2) −6.8 0.34
Thalamus 30.9 (6.9) 29.4 (4.0) 32.4 (8.7) 3.0 0.27

Note: The brain iron deposition value for each nucleus was the mean value for both hemispheres in the unit of ppb. The brain iron deposition values presented here were the high iron values (RII) in the subcortical gray matter nuclei.
