Comparison of ADC values derived from calculated EPI-DWI-2b extracted from EPI-DWI-6b and EPI-DWI-2b for MRI systems I and II

Bias (10−6 mm2/s)LoA (10−6 mm2/s)
Tonsil−23.2 (−2.9)−307.0–260.7
Spinal cord−12.7 (−1.2)−296.6–271.1
SCM10.8 (1.1)−273.1–294.6
SMG18.6 (1.3)−265.3–302.4
SDG LN0.7 (0.1)−283.2–284.5
  • Note:—SCM indicates sternocleidomastoid muscle; SMG, submandibular gland; SDG LN, subdigastric lymph node.

  • a In parentheses, the bias is displayed as a percentage of the mean ADC from EPI-DWI-2b for MRI systems I and II.
