Fixel based analysis on diffusion MRI of COVID-19 survivors.

Publication date: Jun 01, 2025

The underlying mechanisms of long-term sequelae of the COVID-19 infection, including fatigue, memory issues, and attention deficit, remain to be understood. Therefore, we investigated the Diffusion MRI scans of 73 COVID-Recovered Patients (CRPs) and 46 Healthy Controls (HCs) using Fixel-based analysis to study the sub-voxel microstructural properties of nervous tissue. We compared the Fiber Density (FD), log scaled Fiber Cross-section (log-FC), and a combined fiber density and cross-section measure (FDC) across the cohorts. Our study reveals significant alterations (pFWE HC), perigenual corpus callosum (FD; CRP > HC), fornix (log-FC, FDC; CRP > HC), right arcuate fasciculus (FD; CRP
