Table 4.

DW CMR parameters were compared between acute and non-acute DVT. Relative signal intensity was the ratio of thrombus SI to normal muscle SI. The units are 10−3 mm2/s for ADC. Sensitivity and specificity in identifying acute DVT from non-acute DVT were obtained using the cutoff given in table

ICC Acute vs. non-acute P Cutoff Sensitivity, 95%CI Specificity, 95%CI
rSI0 0.91 2.0 ± 1.3 vs. 1.0 ± 0.8 0.01 0.95 73% (40/55), 59%~ 83% 60% (18/30), 41%~ 77%
rSI800 0.89 3.1 ± 1.9 vs. 1.6 ± 1.3 0.02 1.55 75% (41/55), 61%~ 85% 63% (19/30), 44%~ 79%
