TABLE 2:

Comparisons of perfusion measures (cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time) in patients with multiple sclerosis of each lesion type with their contralateral normal-appearing white matter

Lesion Type Cerebral Blood Flow (P) Cerebral Blood Volume (P) Mean Transit Time (P)
Enhancing .007 <.0001 .99
Nonenhancing: class 1 <.0001 .0001 <.0001
Nonenhancing: class 2 .16 .02 .12

Enhancing indicates enhancing lesions; nonenhancing: class 1, nonenhancing lesions with decreased perfusion and perfusion measures dissimilar to those of enhancing lesions; nonenhancing: class 2, nonenhancing lesions with increased perfusion and perfusion measures similar to those of enhancing lesions.
