MTR histogram measures are those derived from the analysis of MTR histograms from the whole brain (see Results). Data are reported as mean values (range). See text for abbreviations and statistical analysis.
↵2-150 Average lesion MTR was calculated for the only patient with hyperintense lesions on brain PD weighted images.
