Table 3.

Results of Kruskal-Wallis tests comparing dynamic susceptibility-contrast MRI parameters between children who received any type of contrast agent pre-bolust versus those who did not receive a contrast agent pre-bolus

Pre-bolus contrast agent Mean±SD
Uncorrected median rCBV Corrected median rCBV Median K2
Y 1.49±5.48 2.20±1.78 0.016±0.033
N 0.49±2.50 2.04±1.21 0.005±0.039
P-valuea 0.015 0.978 0.013

K2 leakage parameter, N no, rCBV relative cerebral blood volume, SD standard deviation, Y yes

n=76 because injection protocol information was not available for 9 children

aP value <0.05 is significant (bold)
