Synopsis

In the current study, we assessed possible alterations of brain white matter (WM) microstructure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI). We found higher normalized quantitative anisotropy values of the bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, fornix, and corpus callosum bundle in the OSA group vs controls, which were related to multiple clinical indices of OSA.
