  1. Abbreviations: MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; SPECT, single photon emission computed tomography.
  2. aDifferences in the response variable among the three period were compared with nonparametric RMANOVA. Multiple pair-wise comparisons were made with Hochberg’s procedure, with the overall alpha level at 0.05., s.d., standard deviation.
