Diffusion tensor imaging in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus
BACKGROUND Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. METHODS We used Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to assess white matter abnormalities in seventeen NPSLE patients, sixteen SLE patients without NPSLE, and twenty age- and gender-matched controls. RESULTS NPSLE patients differed significantly from SLE and control patients in w...
