Dynamics of brain iron content and cortical pencil lining in healthy aging: An MRI study
Objective: To characterize the dynamics of age-dependent iron accumulation in the brain with susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Background: Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is characterized…Preliminary results of 18F-DTBZ PET study in the patients with vascular parkinsonism
Objective: Our studies was designed to assess the dopaminergic pathway in the patients with vascular parkinsonism (VP). Background: VP develops as a consequence of heterogeneous…Combination of multimodal neuroimaging techniques is useful to diagnose multiple system atrophy
Objective: To determine whether multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients can be differentiated form Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using combination of multimodal neuroimaging techniques. Background: MSA…Sensory trick phenomenon in cervical dystonia: a functional MRI study
Objective: This study investigates the patterns of brain functional MRI (fMRI) during resting-state (RS) with and without sensory trick (ST) and during the ST imagination…FDG PET studies in the differential diagnose of atypical parkinsonism and dementia syndromes.
Objective: To describe the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) metabolic pattern and clinical features in patients with clinical diagnose of atypical parkinsonism such as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP),…Semi-automated MRI algorithm using susceptibility weighted imaging for differentiating multiple system atrophy with parkinsonism from Parkinson Disease
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of semi-automated diagnostic algorithm using 3T-MR susceptibility-weighted image (SWI) for multiple system atrophy with parkinsonism (MSA-p). Background: Iron deposition…MRI-based Brain Networks of Perfusion and Structural Abnormalities in Patients with Cerebellar Variant of Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To identify MRI-based brain networks of cerebral perfusion and structural abnormalities in cerebellar variant of MSA. Background: MSA consists clinically of parkinsonian (MSA-P) and cerebellar (MSA-C) variants. Previous FDG PET studies have…Specific Metabolic Brain Networks Associated with Parkinsonian and Cerebellar Variants of Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To identify specific metabolic brain networks for parkinsonian (MSA-P) and cerebellar (MSA-C) variants of MSA. Background: MSA is associated with a disease-related metabolic brain network (MSARP)…Structural brain changes in patients with Multi System Atrophy: A VBM and DTI based study.
Objective: To evaluate the grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) changes in patients with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) using MRI. Background: MSA is a…Improved diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies by the combination of Tc-99m ECD SPECT with eZIS analysis and quantitative TRODAT-1 SPECT images
Objective: The development of easily useful neuroimaging may resolve to the delays of diagnosis. Background: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is easy to be misdiagnosed…
