Left: Study design. We analyzed dMRI data acquired from 17 patients with glaucoma and 30 healthy controls, and then compared the data with and without denoising. Right: Comparison between data with and without denoising. While denoising altered the image appearance (top panels), it did not significantly impact the results of the analysis identifying tissue differences in the fiber pathway (optic tract) between patients with glaucoma and controls (bottom panel).
