Imaging characteristics of brain microstructure and cerebral perfusion in Crohn’s disease patients with anxiety: A prospective comparative study

Figure 6 Brain regions with decreased diffusion kurtosis imaging parameters in Crohn’s disease patients with anxiety compared to Crohn’s disease patients without anxiety. A: Comparison of diffusion kurtosis imaging parameters among patients without anxiety Crohn’s disease (CD), patients with anxiety CD, and healthy controls; B: Brain regions with decreased axial kurtosis value in patients without anxiety CD compared with those with anxiety CD. ^aP < 0.05; NS: Not statistically significant; CD: Crohn’s disease; HC: Healthy control; AK: Axial kurtosis; RK: Radial kurtosis.
