- FIG 1.
Comparison of the DCI in patients without and with PTBE. The left column shows the mean (SD) in patients without PTBE (n = 15) compared with the mean (SD) in patients with PTBE (right column, n = 14) (*P = .04, Mann-Whitney test).
- FIG 2.
Individual connectome maps in patients with meningiomas. A, Connectome map of a patient with a large meningioma (contrast-enhanced T1WI, first image from the left) with extensive PTBE (T2WI, second image from the left). Connectome analysis shows extensive impairment of functional connectivity in widespread brain regions in both hemispheres (third and fourth images from the left). B, Connectome map of a patient with a small meningioma (contrast-enhanced T1WI, first image from the left), which still causes extensive PTBE (T1WI, second image from the left). Connectome analysis shows extensively impaired connectivity in the whole brain with a focus on regions with PTBE (third and fourth images from the left). C, Connectome map of a patient with a large meningioma (contrast-enhanced T1WI, first image from the left) without PTBE (T2WI, second image from left). Connectome analysis shows minimal disturbance of functional connectivity adjacent to the tumor (third and fourth images from the left).
