  • Note.—As anticipated, averaged ratios for all values for control subjects are near 1, which indicates symmetry between anterior and posterior regions of the brain. For subjects with PRES, pertusion values represent the ratio of affected (posterior) to normal (anterior) regions within each subjects. F, female; M, male.
