Table 4.
ADC and FA of nerve were compared between nerve invasion cases and noninvasion cases using a Mann-Whitney test
| Noninvasion (n = 26) |
Nerve invasion n = 15) |
P | Soft tissue sarcoma (n = 17) |
Vascular anomalies (n = 9) |
P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 42.5 | 44.5 | 0.12 | 48.6 | 38.3 | <0.001 |
| ADC(10-3mm2/s) | 1.39 ± 0.46 | 1.45 ± 0.67 | 0.04 | 1.34 ± 0.42 | 1.57 ± 0.55 | 0.03 |
| FA | 0.37 ± 0.13 | 0.22 ± 0.11 | 0.004 | 0.14 ± 0.06 | 0.35 ± 0.16 | 0.01 |
ADC and FA of mass were compared between soft tissue sarcoma and vascular anomalies.
ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient; FA = fraction of anisotropy.
