  • Note.—All values are reported as the mean ± the standard deviation. Normal white matter was the centrum semiovale. NA indicates not applicable.

  • * This patient had a multifocal glioma.

  • This patient had a low-grade glioma with a malignant core.

  • T2-weighted EP images depicted abnormal signal intensity throughout the ipsilateral and contralateral centrum semiovale.

  • § T2-weighted EP images depicted abnormal signal intensity throughout the ipsilateral centrum semiovale.
