Few studies have used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate the micro-structural
alterations of WM in patients with restrictive eating disorders (rED), and longitudinal data are
lacking. Twelve patients with rED were scanned at diagnosis and after one year of family-
based treatment, and compared to twenty-four healthy controls (HCs) through DTI analysis.
A tract-based spatial statistics procedure was used to investigate diffusivity parameters:
fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean, radial and axial diffusivities (MD, RD and AD …
