  1. Significant values are in [bold].
  2. The table contains a comparative analysis of the imaging results in male and female patients in the study population. Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables or a two-tailed t test for independent samples in the case of continuous variables; p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. *Available for N = 304.
