6.2 microstructural imaging with advanced diffusion mri methods – what is gained and what is lost?

DiscussionThe emerging results present dependency on the stage of the psychosis (e.g., first episode, chronic) as well as on the age and gender of the subjects, suggesting that care must be taken in the study design, as well as in the statistical analyses performed. The findings also promote the use of multi-modal acquisitions, as well as the collection of biological, clinical and cognitive parameters. The combined information of these different domains is more likely to truly characterize the underlying abnormalities.
