Comparison of different model parameters, including ADC, D, D*, f, DDC, and α, between metastases and myeloma (`X ± S)

Parameter	Metastases	Myeloma	P
ADC (10−3mm2/s)	1.0 ± 0.30	0.8 ± 0.24	0.034
D (10−3mm2/s)	0.8 ± 0.19	0.7 ± 0.15	0.012
D* (10−3mm2/s)	15.0 ± 13.9	23.1 ± 13.8	0.04
f	0.22 ± 0.09	0.22 ± 0.04	0.95
DDC (10−3mm2/s)	1.0 ± 0.3	0.9 ± 0.2	0.137
α	0.75 ± 0.11	0.66 ± 0.09	0.00

ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; D, true diffusion coefficient; D*, pseudo diffusion coefficient; f, perfusion fraction; DDC, distributed diffusion coefficient; α, intravoxel water diffusion heterogeneity;

Unless otherwise noted, data are means ± standard deviations.
