Box-whisker plots of ADC0Hzmean and ADC50Hzmean (a), ADC0Hz5th and ADC50Hz5th (b), and ADC0Hz95th and ADC50Hz95th (c) of enhancing regions for glioblastomas and brain metastases. For each tumor, each index for ADC50Hz was significantly higher than the corresponding index for ADC0Hz (each p < 0.01, respectively) (a–c). Box-whisker plots of cADCmean (d), cADC5th (e), and cADC95th (f) of enhancing regions for glioblastomas and brain metastases. Each index for cADC was significantly higher in brain metastases than in glioblastomas (each p < 0.01, respectively). Box-whisker plots of rcADCmean (g), rcADC5th (h), and rcADC.95th (i) of enhancing regions for glioblastomas and brain metastases. Each index for rcADC was significantly higher in brain metastases than in glioblastomas (each p < 0.01, respectively). Statistical tests used: apaired-t test, bMann–Whitney U test
