Table 2. Comparison of Image Variables between Cysts and Solid Masses in Development Dataset.
Image Variable | Cysts (n = 6) | Solid Masses (n = 12) | P |
---|---|---|---|
Size (cm) | 4.4 (2.8–6.9) | 2.6 (1.5–11.8) | 0.426 |
nT2† | 0.59 (0.21–0.92) | 0.28 (0.12–0.58) | 0.032 |
nT1† | 1.90 (0.99–5.75) | 2.16 (8.69–1.17) | 0.493 |
nADC*† | 1.26 (0.52–1.51) | 0.33 (0.18–0.76) | 0.009 |
RER (%) | 5.3 (0.4–24.1) | 59.7 (28.1–770.7) | < 0.001 |
All data indicate median values with ranges in parentheses. *Missed in two cases (one cyst and one solid mass), †Fraction values without units. nADC = normalized apparent diffusion coefficient, nT1 = normalized T1 signal intensity, nT2 = normalized T2 signal intensity, RER = relative enhancement ratio
