چکیده
1) My main concern is related to how the authors deal with the large number of statistical tests performed. The lack of corrections for multiple comparisons seems remiss and undermines the interpretations and validity of the results. For example, Table 2 shows the results from 52 correlation analyses, but the authors still regard an uncorrected p < .05 as statistically significant. Post-hoc corrections (e.g Bonferroni) should be performed to control for Type I errors. This should also be performed for all other analyses presented in the paper, including the correlations between lesion volume and clinical test data.

Diffusion tensor imaging correlates with lesion volume in cerebral hemisphere infarctions
BACKGROUND Both a large lesion volume and abnormalities in diffusion tensor imaging are independently associated with a poor prognosis after cerebral infarctions. Therefore, we assume that they are associated. This study assessed the associations between lesion volumes and diffusion tensor imaging in patients with a right-sided cerebral infarction. METHODS The lesion volumes of 33 patients (a...

متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Imaging for Glioma Grading: Analysis of Fiber Density Index
Introduction: The most common primary tumors of brain are gliomas and tumor grading is essential for designing proper treatment strategies. The gold standard choice to determine grade of glial tumor is biopsy which is an invasive method. The purpose of this study was to investigatethe role of fiber density index (FDi) by means of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (as a noninvasive method) in glial...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor MRI correlates with executive dysfunction in patients with ischaemic leukoaraiosis.
BACKGROUND Cerebral small vessel disease is a common cause of vascular dementia. Both discrete lacunar infarcts and more diffuse ischaemic changes, seen as confluent high signal (leukoaraiosis) on T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), occur. However, there is a weak correlation between T2 lesion load and cognitive impairment. Diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) is a new technique that may provid...
