White Matter Characteristics of Cognitive Impairment in Tap-Test Positive Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Diffusion Tensor Tract-Based Spatial Study

The present study was designed to systemically evaluate changes in the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-derived parameters of iNPH (idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus) patients with different responses to the tap test (TT), and to correlate cognitive impairment with white matter (WM) degeneratio...
