^aImaging was performed on clinical 1.5 Tesla or 3 Tesla systems.

^bVIBE (Siemens Healthcare), THRIVE (Philips Healthcare), LAVA (General Electric Healthcare).

^cDiffusion weighted imaging performed with two $b$ values (0 and $600{\mathrm{mm}}^2/\mathrm{s}$) with ADC map automatically derived.

^dIP = in phase, OP = opposed phase.
