Note.—FLAIR indicates fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; T2WI, T2-weighted image; CBF, cerebral blood flow; CBV, cerebral blood volume; MTT, mean transit time. All values are expressed as average ± SD.
* The differences in value and ratio of cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time were analyzed statistically between the two groups by using the unpaired Student’s t test.
