TABLE 2a:

Signal intensities on DWI and ADC values on initial and subsequent MR scans in 4 patients who underwent one abscess drainage

Patient #	Initial MRI				MR examinations
					Time	1. Follow-up				Time	2. Follow-up			Time	3. Follow-up
	ADC	DWI	CRP		Time	ADC	DWI	CRP		Time	ADC	DWI	CRP	Time	ADC	DWI	CRP
1	0.42	high	0.5	D	4	0.87	low	0.5		14	2.19	low	0.5	26	2.25	low	0.5
2	0.53	high	0.5		13	0.81	high	1.7	D	21	2.76	low	0.9
	0.52	high				1.12	high				0.46	high
6	0.36	high			7	0.60	low			14	1.68	low
	0.41	high		D		0.51	low				1.39	low
7	0.67	high	3.0	D	14	2.61	low	2.2		28	1.57	low	1.0

ADC = ×10⁻³ mm²sec, DWI = signal intensity on DWI, Time = time interval (days) after the drainage, CRP = C reactive protein, D = surgical intervention/drainage
