None of the mean volume differences were significant by paired-sample t test, and the Pearson correlation between week 0 and week 12 was generally quite high. Concordance is also a measure of the degree to which values at week 0 and week 12 are correlated, unlike the Pearson, which does not take account of the sample mean, concordance is sensitive to changes in sample mean.
