Table 2.

Predicting variance in standard research-quality MRI measures using all five T2-FLAIR MRI measures (β) and each individually (r). All β values reported are standardized and R2 values are adjusted for the number of factors in each model. Abbreviations: T2-FLAIR, T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery; LVV, lateral ventricular volume; MOV, medulla oblongata volume; T2LV, T2-weighted lesion volume; SCLV, salient central lesion volume; T1LV, T1-weighted hypointense lesion volume; CGMV, neocortical gray matter volume; WM, white matter.
