Table 6 Relationship between the venous hemodynamic severity score (VHISS) and quantitative brain parenchyma venous vasculature in multiple sclerosis patients on pre-and post-contrast susceptibility-weighted images.

From: Decreased brain venous vasculature visibility on susceptibility-weighted imaging venography in patients with multiple sclerosis is related to chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency

  1. MS - Multiple Sclerosis; RR - Relapsing-Remitting; SP - Secondary Progressive; ATVV - apparent total venous volume;
  2. The relationship between VHISS and quantitative brain parenchyma venous was explored using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
