White Matter Changes in Adult Survivors of Childhood Brain Tumors. (A) Significant white matter (WM) differences of fractional anisotropy (FA) were found between survivors with and with no radiation treatment and healthy controls (HC). Clusters of significantly lower FA for survivor group were in orange and red. (B) The plot of statistically significant correlations between intellectual performance and the WM FA measured from the areas of left frontal pole (LFP) in red, right frontal pole (RFP) in blue and corpus callosum (CC) in green. The open symbols represent survivors with radiation treatment and solid symbol represent those with no radiation treatment. (C) Significant WM differences between survivors with no radiation treatment and HC. Clusters of significantly lower FA for survivor group were in orange and red. No statistically significant correlation between intellectual performance and the WM FA was found in these areas. WM skeleton (in green) was overlaid on a T1 weighted image. VIQ = verbal intelligence quotient, PIQ = performance intelligence quotient. a.u. = arbitrary units. R = right, L = left. Adopted from King et al. [88]
