Figure 1 The combined classification of both the quality and longitudinal extent of increased signal intensity (ISI) on T2-weighted images: Type 1 (none/none) displayed normal intensity; Type 2 (focal/faint) displayed focal and faint ISI; Type 3 (focal/intense) displayed focal and intense ISI; Type 4 (multisegmental/faint) displayed multisegmental and faint ISI; and Type 5 (multisegmental/intense) displayed multisegmental and intense ISI.
