Table 4 T1WI, T2WI, and SWI lesion signal intensity of diffuse axonal injury (number of patients = 10 and number of lesions = 62)
From: Magnetic resonance susceptibility weighted in evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases
MRI sequence | Number of lesions | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | Accuracy (%) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Isointense | Hypointense | Hyperintense | ||||
T1WI | 26 | 0 | 36 | 58.6 | 50 | 58.1 |
T2WI | 30 | 22 | 10 | 51.7 | 50 | 51.6 |
SWI | 3 | 59 | 0 | 98.3 | 100 | 98.4 |
Pvalue | 0.0067* for SWI and 0.2* for (T1WI + T2WI) | |||||
