Actual volumes (Volumes, mL) computed by icobrain dm were reported as mean ± SD. Achieva: Philips Medical Systems Achieva dStream 1.5T. Ingenia: Philips Medical Systems Ingenia 3T. GE: GE Discovery MR750w 3T. p-value: Difference between the three scanner types. Post-hoc comparison: ∧p-value < 0.005 between Achieva and GE. •p-value < 0.005 between Ingenia and GE. #p-value < 0.005 between Achieva and Ingenia.
