FIG. 5.

Higher mean diffusivities in thalamus of TBI patients. Scatter plots show higher MD values in both thalamus of TBI patients (red dots) compared to controls (blue triangles); however, only the left thalamic MD remained significant after Bonferroni corrections. The three-dimensional ROIs for the thalamus from these ROIs are shown in the images (middle panel). See Table 2 and text for corrected p values. ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; MD, mean diffusivity; ROI, region of interest; TBI, traumatic brain injury.
