Evaluation of the Glymphatic System Using the DTI-ALPS Index in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Haemorrhage

Figure 2

Differences in the DTI-ALPS index between the left and right cerebral hemispheres of patients with sICH and HCs were tested using paired -tests (a, c). Intergroup differences in the DTI-ALPS index were revealed by a two-sample -test (b, d). DTI-ALPS: diffusion tensor imaging analysis along with the perivascular space; sICH: spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage; HCs: healthy controls.

(a) DTI-ALPS index of bilateral cerebral hemispheres in patients with sICH

(b) Comparison of the DTI-ALPS index of the lesion side between sICH and HCs

(c) DTI-ALPS index of bilateral cerebral hemispheres in HC

(d) Comparison of the DTI-ALPS index of the non-lesion side between sICH and HCs
