Group averaged diffusion tensor imaging parameters for the subgroup who received a multiband accelerated scan. Data are mean ± standard deviation of the data acquired with the standard scan and with MB acceleration. The p-value of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, comparing injured and healthy parameters, is shown (significant p-values in bold)
