  1. Bold values indicate high statistical significant results
  2. MD is presented in units of 10−3 mm2/s
  3. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean difference between control, MS, and mimics patients
  4. Data were expressed mean ± SD
  5. RA relative anisotropy, FA fractional anisotropy, MD mean diffusivity
  6. P1 value: control versus MS
  7. P2 value: control versus mimics
  8. P3 value: MS versus mimics
