Prediction plots based on the consensus values for 9 key variables of interest expressed as a function of the natural logarithm of patient age, whilst simultaneously taking into account the field strength of the MRI scanner. Solid lines represent model predictions, whereas shaded areas demarcate the 95%-prediction interval around these values (i.e., 95% of future measurements are expected to fall within these intervals). R2 values quantify the proportion of the total variability in the data the model accounts for, and p-values < 0.05 are taken to signify that the model performs better than an intercept-only model i.e., a straight, horizontal line, indicative of no growth). A spreadsheet to calculate values for the different variables for every patient’s age is provided as supplementary material. Abbreviations: trans = transverse, 3/3 = position 3 out of 3, supinf = superoinferior, lat = lateral
