| HC | FD | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Right pulvinar area | 49 ± 7 | 46 ± 6 | .14 |
| Left pulvinar area | 53 ± 7 | 51 ± 10 | .41 |
| Right pulvinar R1 | 1.31 ± 0.11 | 1.33 ± 0.09 | .45 |
| Left pulvinar R1 | 1.41 ± 0.14 | 1.44 ± 0.12 | .32 |
| Right pulvinar R2* | 19.9 ± 1.7 | 20.6 ± 3.4 | .35 |
| Left pulvinar R2* | 19.9 ± 1.9 | 20.3 ± 2.8 | .55 |
| Right pulvinar QSM | 40 ± 19 | 41 ± 19 | .75 |
| Left pulvinar QSM | 38 ± 17 | 35 ± 18 | .56 |
Note:—R1 indicates the longitudinal relaxation rate (1/T1), expressed in second−1; R2*, transverse relaxation rate (1/T2*), expressed as second−1.
↵a QSM is expressed in parts per billion. Areas are expressed in square millimeters. P values refer to an independent 2-sample t test, with a significance level of P = .05.
