Example of the examined WM tracts in AD patients compared to healthy subjects. The examined tracts are shown on sagittal FLAIR-weighted images. White matter tracts of AD patients (a–e) are shown in blue color; while white matter tracts of the healthy subjects (f–j) are shown in purple color. a, f Splenium. b, g Cingulum. c, h Arcuate fasciculus. d, i Inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. e, j Uncinate fasciculus. (Only tracts that revealed significant microstructural alteration are shown in this example). Significant differences were found in the MD of the splenium, right AF, right UF, and the IFOF bilaterally, between AD patients and healthy subjects. In addition, significant differences were found in FA of the cingulum bilaterally. AF, arcuate fasciculus; IFOF, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus; UF, uncinate fasciculus; FA, fractional anisotropy; MD, mean diffusivity
