Fig. 3From: Increased extracellular fluid is associated with white matter fiber degeneration in CADASIL: in vivo evidence from diffusion magnetic resonance imagingCorrelations between FW, AFD with FW-corrected DTI metrics in WMHs. A, B FW correlated with AFD and MDt (both p < 0.001), and C, E AFD correlated with FAt, ADt and RDt (all p < 0.001). The MDt, ADt and RDt values are in units of × 10−3 mm2/s. *Indicates p < 0.0001.
