Results: We observed mean ADC values (x 10-3 mm2/sec) of head: 1.50 1.56, neck: 1.38 1.61, body: 1.32 1.37 and tail: 1.19 1.20. The mean T2relaxation times (msecs) were head:… Click to show full abstract
Results: We observed mean ADC values (x 10-3 mm2/sec) of head: 1.50 1.56, neck: 1.38 1.61, body: 1.32 1.37 and tail: 1.19 1.20. The mean T2relaxation times (msecs) were head: 60.23 63.14, neck: 57.80 58.63, body: 58.78 59.69 and tail: 58.82 59.99. Based on CVs, lower inter-scan session and inter-observer variability were consistently calculated for T2-relaxation times (CV of ~4%) compared to ADCs (CV of ~18%). Bland-Altman analyses did not reveal any systematic trends in bias.
