The study aimed to find the correlation between microstructural changes
of ACC and CSVD-induced depression patients by DKI. The results showed DKI
parameters of ACC are potentially useful for the quantitative evaluation the
degree of CSVD-induced depression.
Figure 2. Images of CVSD-D patient (A-1, T1WI 3D MPRAGE, A-2, DKI-Dmean map) and CVSD-ND patient (B-1, T1WI 3D MPRAGE, B-2, DKI-Dmean map). Compared with non-depression CVDS patient, the Dmean map of CVSD-D patient have more warm pixels in region of ACC. White arrow indicate left ACC.
