- FIG 1.
Segmentation of the subcortical structures. T1-weighted image of a female participant with CHD (17 years of age) with delineation of the subcortical structures: globus pallidus left (green) and right (fuschia), thalamus left (blue) and right (yellow), and striatum left (red) and right (turquoise) in the axial (A) and coronal (B) planes.
- FIG 2.
Group differences between CHD and control participants for the globus pallidus (A) and thalamus surface area (B). The darker blue colors indicate regions of significantly smaller surface area (more concave), and the darker orange indicates regions of significantly larger surface area (more convex) in CHD participants compared with controls (q < 0.15). Analyses were adjusted for total brain volume and socioeconomic status.
- FIG 3.
Group differences between CHD and control participants for globus pallidus (A) and thalamus displacement (B). The darker blue colors indicate regions of significant inward displacement in CHD participants compared with controls. The darker orange colors indicate regions of significant outward displacement in CHD participants compared with controls (q < 0.15). Analyses were adjusted for total brain volume and socioeconomic status.
