¹Indicates statistical significant (P < 0.05) value. Data are mean (mm²) of morphometric parameter value ± SD. ^aP: Value for mean comparison between three-dimensional (3D) SPACE and 2D turbo spin echo; LA: Lumen area; TVA: Total vessel area; RCC: Right common carotid; LCC: Left common carotid; RF: Right femoral; LF: Left femoral; ICC: Intraclass correlation coefficient.
