Table 2:

Percentage changes of VMY, VEPW, R1, R2, and PD in plaques and periplaque white matter relative to normal-appearing white mattera

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
a

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.

b

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.

c

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.
