Transverse relaxation time (T2), Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Trace comparison.
T2 (ms) | FA | Trace Diffusivity | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Left | Right | Left | Right | Left | Right | |
Bipolar (N=8) | 94.15 ± 2.65 | 90.39 ± 5.13 | 0.39 ± 0.12 | 0.45 ± 0.12 | 2.40E-03 ± 2.00E-04 | 2.27E-03 ± 1.03E-04 |
Normal Control (N=8) | 91.58 ± 3.23 | 93.29 ± 1.93 | 0.50 ± 0.12 | 0.49 ± 0.10 | 2.12E-03 ± 1.98E-04 | 2.12E-03 ± 1.31E-04 |
Note: The trace diffusivity is higher in the left and right cingulate-paracingulate compared with the healthy control subjects (Left: F(1,15) = 6.884, p = 0.021; Right: F(1,15) = 6.396, p = 0.025, covariates : age).
