ROIs. T2-weighted image shows where the multivoxels were placed over the whole cerebrum at the level of basal ganglia (yellow dotted lines). In this example, temperature was measured in a total of 7 voxels—that is, in the voxels in the left thalamus, the remaining basal ganglia bilaterally, and the anterior and posterior white matter bilaterally (yellow lines).

Comparison of brain temperature values in the basal ganglia and white matter according to the initial degree of encephalopathy and the presence of brain injury. Brain temperature values in the basal ganglia according to the initial degree of encephalopathy (A) and according to the presence of brain injury (B). Brain temperature values in white matter according to the initial degree of encephalopathy (C) and the presence of brain injury (D). Box-and-whisker plots (median, minimum, and maximum in degrees Celsius). Significance was derived from Kruskal-Wallis tests, followed by the Dunn post hoc comparison tests for multiple comparisons: The asterisk indicates P < .05; 2 asterisks, P < .01; 3 asterisks, P < .001.
