In a 2012 study, [8] researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) measured before - and - after
data from the brains of a group of nine high school football and hockey players using an advanced form of
imaging similar to an MRI called
diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI).
However, relatively few studies have investigated whether there are differences in brain structure between these subgroups.We acquired
diffusion tensor
imaging data and used tract - based spatial statistics (TBSS) to compare adolescents with CD and high levels of CU traits (CD / CU +; n = 18, CD and low levels of CU traits (CD / CU -; n = 17) and healthy controls (HC; n = 32) on measures of fractional anisotropy (FA), axial (AD), radial (RD) and mean (MD) diffusivity.
