  • Note.—The data are the mean ± SD.

  • * In type 1 lesions, the signal intensity ratios were significantly higher in group 2 compared with group 1 at both 30 minutes and 2 hours (P < .013). However, in type 2 lesions, the signal intensity ratios did not significantly differ between the two groups at either time point (P > .643).
