FIGURE 2.
Differences between healthy controls (HC) and Parkinson’s disease patients (PD) in voxel-wise correlation of MD maps with DAT-SPECT measured in putamen (a), and GM volume with mean DAT-SPECT in putamen (c). (b) Scatter plot showing the correlation between the DAT-SPECT measured in the putamen and the mean MD values computed within the region highlighted in red on panel (a), for HC (yellow triangles) and PD (red circles). (d) Scatter plot showing the correlation between the DAT-SPECT measured in the putamen and the mean GM volume estimated within the region highlighted in red on panel (c), for HC (yellow triangles) and PD (red circles). Plot legend reports Spearman’s correlation coefficients.
