FIG 5. Linear regression plots of ADC and FA values of the splenium and internal capsule versus Rankin score at the time of discharge (in patients) or at time of comparison MR imaging (control subjects, all with Rankin scores of 0). A statistically significant correlation is seen between the FA values of the splenium/internal capsule and Rankin score, as well as between the ADC values of the splenium and Rankin score. Rankin scores vary between 0 and 5, where 0 represents the best score and 5, the worst score. Open rectangles indicate patients; solid rectangles, control subjects.

A, ADC splenium versus Rankin.

B, ADC internal capsule versus Rankin.

C, FA splenium versus Rankin.

D, FA internal capsule versus Rankin.
