Table 1 Summary of the mean values in both gray and white matter for each contrast (amine/amide concentration independent detection (AACID), Amide*, \(\:{\text{M}\text{T}\text{R}}_{\text{R}\text{e}\text{x}}\left({{\updelta\:}}_{\text{a}\text{m}\text{i}\text{d}\text{e}}\right)\), and \(\:{\text{M}\text{T}\text{R}}_{\text{R}\text{e}\text{x}}\left({{\updelta\:}}_{\text{N}\text{O}\text{E}}\right)\)) at each time point (with standard deviation) (n = 12).
