  • Note.—CI indicates confidence interval; –, invalid test; rADC, relative apparent diffusion coefficient; rT2, relative T2, ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; rt-PA, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.

  • * Testing for individual MR image parameter effect or the interaction of MR imaging parameter by rt-PA treatment effect adjusting for acute phase lesion size volume and correlation among sections and among tissues.

  • Testing the rt-PA by MR imaging parameter interaction.
