*

“Relative Signal Intensity Ratio” denotes relative signal intensity ratio of intra- and extracranial components of JFM to CNS tissue at the same level.

**

“hyperintense” denotes that signal intensity of the intracranial component of JFM is higher than that of the extracranial component.

***

“isointense” denotes that the signal intensity of the intracranial component of JFM is equal to that of the extracranial component.

****

N/A denotes not applicable.
