Comparison of phase values among the patients with precipitating factors. One-way ANOVA analysis revealed difference iron states between the patients with different pathogenesis (p < 0.05, FDR correction). Comparing with the subgroup of intracranial infection, the subgroups of febrile convulsion (A) and no overt history (B) both showed increased phase values, i.e., decreased iron concentration(warm color) in the PUT and SN. The difference of phase value between subgroups of FC and NH was located in the GPi (C). The results are shown by overlying on MNI 305 template image. Abbreviations: L: left; R: right; mTLE: PUT: putamen; GPi: internal globus pallidus; SN: substantia nigra; RN: red nucleus; II: intracranial infection; FC: febrile convulsion; NH: no overt history.
