  • a Data are percentages; numbers in parentheses are raw data.

  • b P values for comparisons between TSE-MSDE and MPRAGE/MPRAGE and combined TSE-MSDE/MPRAGE/TSE-MSDE and combined TSE-MSDE/MPRAGE.

  • c Two-way ANOVA did not show significance.

  • d P values for comparisons between groups of small- (≤5 mm) and large-sized (>5 mm) lesions.
