Figure 2

Group comparisons of white matter integrity between glaucoma patients (n = 32) and healthy controls (n = 10) using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) of fractional anisotropy (FA) maps in diffusion tensor MRI. Green pixels represent the FA skeletons of major tracts overlaid on the anatomical brain images in grayscale in the sagittal (left column), coronal (middle column) and axial planes (right column). Red/yellow pixels indicate white matter tract regions that had lower FA in glaucoma patients compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05). These regions include the central visual pathway in the optic tracts (OT; open arrows) and optic radiation (OR; arrowhead) (top row), as well as the left superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF; closed arrows) around the supramarginal gyrus in the non-visual pathway (bottom row). (A: anterior; P: posterior; L: left; R: right; S: superior; I: inferior).
