  • Note.—Table lists the mean ADC and FA values ± SD for all bilaterally measured ROIs for all control subjects. Results showed no statistically significant difference between the left- and right-sided ADC and FA measurements. A P value <.005 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Analysis was performed by using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
