microstructure differences are present in both contact-sport athletes with and
without concussion, compared to non-contact sport control athletes, using
multi-shell diffusion MRI.
Figure 1: TBSS results showing comparisons between three groups
for DTI, DKI, WMTI metrics. Clusters of significantly decreased/increased
voxels in (top) CS-SRC and (bottom)
CS-nSRC (p < 0.05) are shown in red/blue, respectively, and overlaid on the
standard template, together with the mean FA skeleton (green). No significant
differences were found between CS-nSRC and CS-SRC groups. Also, AD was not
significant in all comparisons.
