Relationship between Stereoscopic Vision, Visual Perception, and Microstructure Changes of Corpus Callosum and Occipital White Matter in the 4-Year-Old Very Low Birth Weight Children

Table 3

Comparison of selected fractional anisotropy (FA) values measured on the axial MRI scans between children with abnormal stereoscopic vision and the control group.

	Abnormal stereoscopic vision ()	Control group ()	Student’s -test value
FA values of the left OWM at the level just above the superior margins of the lateral ventricles	0.38 (0.07)	0.39 (0.05)	0.6
FA values of the right OWM at the level just above the superior margins of the lateral ventricles	0.38 (0.07)	0.38 (0.06)	0.9
FA values of the left OWM at the level of the basal ganglia and PLIC	0.34 (0.06)	0.37 (0.06)	0.1
FA values of the right OWM at the level of the basal ganglia and PLIC	0.30 (0.06)	0.36 (0.06)	0.01
FA values of the left PLIC at the level of the basal ganglia and PLIC	0.55 (0.04)	0.55 (0.05)	0.9
FA values of the right PLIC at the level of the basal ganglia and PLIC	0.54 (0.05)	0.55 (0.06)	0.9

FA, fractional anisotropy; PLIC, posterior limb of internal capsule; OWM, occipital white matter; Expressed as a mean (SD).
