IMDC + Entropy following treatment	Not Significant	Significant	176.4
IMDC + nSD prior to treatment	Not significant	Significant	176.1
IMDC + nSD following treatment	Not significant	Significant	175.3
IMDC + percent change in lesion size	Not significant	Not significant	177.8
IMDC + Entropy change	Not significant	Not significant	177.4
