Table 3. Comparison of MTR Parameters between Mild-to-Moderate and Severe Bowel Fibrosis.
Mild-to-Moderate Fibrosis | Severe Fibrosis | P | |
---|---|---|---|
MTR (%) | 34.730 ± 6.449 | 41.910 ± 5.313 | < 0.001 |
Normalized MTR | 0.734 (0.574–0.894)* | 0.874 ± 0.062 | < 0.001 |
Standardized MTR | 0.469 (0.179–0.759)* | 0.747 ± 0.142 | < 0.001 |
*Normalized and standardized MTR with mild-to-moderate fibrosis of abnormal distribution were described as median (interquartile range). MTR = magnetization transfer ratio
