B: bilateral; CP: cerebral palsy; FA: fractional anisotropy; JHU: John Hopkins University; LH: left hemisphere; MS: medial structure; RH: right hemisphere; SD: standard deviation. Discrepancies between fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity results are indicated as follows. Bold indicates regions that are significant with both fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity. Italics indicate regions that only show the same result between fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity in one hemisphere.
