Note:—n refers to the number of venous segments included in the calculation; m refers to the number of patients included in the calculation.
a Superscripts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 indicate significant difference between combo-4D MRV and T2W, combo-4D MRV and GRE, combo-4D MRV and TOF MRV, TOF MRV and T2W, TOF MRV and GRE, and between GRE and T2W, respectively.
b Binary test on venous segment level, ie, test is positive if score is >3.
c Binary test on patient level, ie, test is positive for patient if score >3 for any of the patient's venous segments.
