Table 3.

Post-hoc comparisons with Bonferroni adjusted p values of magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) from white matter tracts and MTR homogeneity (MTRh) between clinical outcome groups. White matter tracts above are the left and right combined spinothalamic and spinoreticular tracts (L and R SPTH).
