In the present study, we reconstructed the white matter skeleton of the brain using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) and compared differences in diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters within the skeleton between patients sufferde from postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and healthy controls to detect white matter abnormalities in POCD.
