However, to date, there have been only a few diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies investigating AN, and the results are inconsistent. In this study, we employed tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), a robust technique for whole-brain analysis of DTI data, to detect white matter abnormalities in AN patients compared with healthy controls. Seventeen women with AN and 18 age matched healthy women were included. The mean body mass index of patients was 13.6kg/m(2) (controls: 19.9kg/m(2)). DTI data were acquired on a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) maps were calculated from the DTI data of each patient, and voxel-wise group comparisons of FA and MD were performed using TBSS. Compared with the healthy comparisons, the patients showed a significantly higher MD value in the fornix and lower FA value in the left cerebellum. We also found significant positive correlations between the mean FA value of the left cerebellar hemisphere cluster and BMI, as well as between the mean MD value of the cluster in the anterior body of the fornix and the duration of illness. The results suggest that the white matter abnormalities in the fornix and the cerebellum may be related to the pathophysiology of AN.

Postconcussional disorder and PTSD symptoms of military-related traumatic brain injury associated with compromised neurocircuitry.

Yeh PH1, Wang B, Oakes TR, French LM, Pan H, Graner J, Liu W, Riedy G.Author information 1Traumatic Brain Injury Image Analysis Lab, Department of Radiology, Henry Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Rockville, Maryland.AbstractTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common combat injury, often through explosive blast, and produces heterogeneous brain changes due to various mechanisms of injury. It is unclear whether the vulnerability of white matter differs between blast and impact injury, and the consequences of microstructural changes on neuropsychological function are poorly understood in military TBI patients. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques were used to assess the neurocircuitry in 37 US service members (29 mild, 7 moderate, 1 severe; 17 blast and 20 nonblast), who sustained a TBI while deployed, compared to 14 nondeployed, military controls. High-dimensional deformable registration of MRI diffusion tensor data was followed by fiber tracking and tract-specific analysis along with region-of-interest analysis. DTI results were examined in relation to post-concussion and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. The most prominent white matter microstructural injury for both blast and nonblast patients was in the frontal fibers within the fronto-striatal (corona radiata, internal capsule) and fronto-limbic circuits (fornix, cingulum), the fronto-parieto-occipital association fibers, in brainstem fibers, and in callosal fibers. Subcortical superior-inferiorly oriented tracts were more vulnerable to blast injury than nonblast injury, while direct impact force had more detrimental effects on anterior-posteriorly oriented tracts, which tended to cause heterogeneous left and right hemispheric asymmetries of white matter connectivity. The tractography using diffusion anisotropy deficits revealed the cortico-striatal-thalamic-cerebellar-cortical (CSTCC) networks, where increased post-concussion and PTSD symptoms were associated with low fractional anisotropy in the major nodes of compromised CSTCC neurocircuitry, and the consequences on cognitive function were explored as well.
