    Fig 1.

    TBSS results are shown for FA, ISO, and MVF maps, which show significant differences between patients with MS and healthy controls. Green represents the mean FA skeleton of all participants thresholded at 0.2. Blue–light blue represents lower values in patients with MS compared with healthy controls in FA (first row) and MVF (third row) maps; red-yellow represents higher values in ISO maps (second row) (family-wise error-corrected P < .05). The significant regions are thickened for better visibility. The mean lesion probability distribution in patients with MS, thresholded at 20%, is shown in the fourth row in purple.

    Quantitative metrics compared among the WM of healthy controls, NAWM of patients with MS, and WM lesions of patients with MS. The median and 25th and 75th percentiles are marked in boxplots, with outliers plotted by open circles. Asterisks indicate significant differences among the groups. The asterisk indicates P < .05; double asterisks, P < .01; triple asterisks, P < .001.
