Note.—Abnormal values are in red. Imaging compression level matched the clinical data.
IOT = imaging/onset time: time between MR exam and onset of symptoms (in days); C/ICL = clinical/imaging compression level; SI = signal intensity; MD = motor deficit; SD = sensitive deficit; ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient (%10−3 mm2/s); FA = fractional anisotropy.
