Fractional anisotropy and the mean diffusion coefficient were measured in the cerebral volume in 20 schizophrenic and 24 healthy subjects, men and women, using diffusion tensor imaging. In addition, 3D SPGR was used for segmentation of brain tissue into grey and white matter and cerebrospinal fluid. In schizophrenic patients, fractional anisotropy was reduced in the splenium of the corpus callosum and in adjacent occipital white matter. The segmentation revealed no tissue deficits in the volume of reduced fractional anisotropy. The mean diffusion was increased in the total white and grey matter volume of the schizophrenic patients compared with the healthy subjects. The findings support the view that global and regional white matter abnormalities occur in chronic schizophrenia. NeuroReport 12:2251-2254 (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
