متن کاملBrain structural changes in obstructive sleep apnea.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Determine whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects show indications of axonal injury. DESIGN We assessed fiber integrity in OSA and control subjects with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We acquired four whole-brain DTI series from each subject. The four series were realigned, and the diffusion tensor calculated at each voxel. Fractional anisotropy (FA), a measure of fib...
