Comparison of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Metrics in Normal-Appearing White Matter to Cerebrovascular Lesions and Correlation with Cerebrovascular Disease Risk Factors and Severity

Figure 5

Differences in the FA and MD values measured by the DTI processing pipeline between the tissue types considered in this study. Cells shaded with gray indicate significant difference ( value < 0.05) between both FA and MD values in the two related tissue types. Cells shaded with green indicate significant differences ( value < 0.05) in MD but not FA between tissue types. All the pairwise comparisons were adjusted for age, sex, and education level.
