DTI metrics (gFA and FW index) and GM volume may provide insight into longitudinal
progression in PD, relative to controls. Longitudinal decreases in gFA and GM
volume and increases in FW index in PD were observed.
F-stats from 2x2
ANOVA for gFA and FW metrics. In panel (a) the significant clusters for the
main effect of TP are shown (for only gFA). Panels (b) and (c) show the
significant clusters for group×TP interaction (FW and gFA, respectively). Table
in panel (d) shows the summary of the results.
F-stats from 2x2
ANOVA for VBM analysis. In panel (a) the significant clusters for the main effect
of TP are shown, while panel (b) shows the significant clusters for group×TP interaction. Table
in panel (c) shows the summary of the results.
