Table 2:
VMY (%) | VEPW (%) | R1 (%) | R2 (%) | PD (%) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Plaques | −61.59 ± 20.28b | 13.82 × 103 ± 49.47 × 103b | −35.23 ± 13.93b | −21.06 ± 11.39b | 23.37 ± 10.30b |
PWM | −10.51 ± 11.41c | 51.33 × 102 ± 155.31 × 102c | −6.08 ± 8.66c | −4.79 ± 6.79c | 3.37 ± 4.24b |
Values are mean ± SD. Of the 135 ROIs, 39 were discarded after calculating the percentage change of VEPW relative to NAWM because the VEPW of these ROIs was equivalent to zero in NAWM.
P < .001 in the percentage change for plaques relative to NAWM for comparison between each pair of metrics, except between R2 and PD (P = .31). Statistical analysis was performed for absolute values.
P < .001 in the percentage change for PWM relative to NAWM between VEPW and other metrics, and between VMY and R2 or PD, P < .05 between VMY and R1, and P > .05 between R2 and R1 (.31) or PD (.30). Statistical analysis was performed for absolute values.
