Analysis of significant differences between tumor groups at TE 136

Pairwise ComparisonsResonances Showing Significant Differences
P* < .001P* < .01P* < .05
MEN vs LGAAla, GLXCHO
MEN vs AAAlaGLX
MEN vs GBM-METLIP09, LIP13, LACT, Ala, GLX, CHONACC
LGA vs AA
LGA vs GBM-METLIP09, LIP13LACT, CR
AA vs GBM-METLIP09, LIP13, CRNACC, CHO
  • Note.—Differences of P corrected values (P*) <.05 were considered to be statistically significant. MEN indicates mengingioma; LGA, low grade astrocytoma; AA, anaplastic astrocytoma; GBM-MET, glioblastoma-metastasis group; Ala, alanine; GLX, glutamate and glutamine; LIP, lipid; CHO, choline and other trimethylamine-containing compounds; CR, creatine plus phosphocreatine; NACC, N-acetyl-containing compounds; LACT, lactate.

  • Only the eight resonances showing significant differences in the previously applied Kruskal-Wallis test for multiple samples were considered (LIP09, LIP13, LACT, Ala, NACC, GLX, CR, and CHO).
