Tract-Based Spatial Statistics: Application to Mild Cognitive Impairment

Figure 2

Radial diffusivity in the white matter regions of the study participants. Compared with normal controls, radial diffusivity is increased within the white matter skeleton of both patients with amnestic MCI (a) and AD (b). The pattern of such changes is consistent with the observed reductions in fractional anisotropy. The arrows indicate the locations of the fiber tracts showing significant changes.
