  • Note:—Data (except for the cutoffs of FA values and axial eigenvalues) are shown as percentages. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to determine the optimum cutoff values for evaluating the usefulness of FA values and axial eigenvalues in differentiating iNPH from AD, PDD, and controls.
