  • Note.—Parentheses indicate slight change. An upward-pointing arrow (↑) indicates that a value has increased. A dash (—) indicates no signal change; bilat., bilateral; l., left; r., right; SI, signal intensity.

  • a Mediodorsal thalamic nucleus.

  • b The first of the three consecutive measurements of patient 1 is considered.

  • c b0 images of the DW imaging scan were used, because no T2-weighted TSE images were acquired.

  • d Disturbed by motion artifacts.
