Putaminal Diffusion Imaging for the Differential Diagnosis of the Parkinsonian Variant of Multiple System Atrophy from Parkinson’s Disease: Impact of Segmentation Accuracy
Objective: To evaluate different approaches of segmentation of the putamen in order to discriminate PD from MSA-P based on putaminal diffusion imaging. Background: Differences in prognosis…In vivo evaluation of tau and amyloid pathology in Corticobasal Syndrome
Objective: To assess in vivo, with molecular imaging the brain distribution of tau aggregates ([18F]AV1451 PET) and β-amyloid depositions ([18F]AV45 PET) in patients with Corticobasal…PBB3 Imaging in Parkinsonian disorders: evidence for binding to abnormally aggregated proteins in addition to tau proteins
Objective: To study selective regional binding for tau pathology in vivo, using PET with [11C]PBB3 ([11C]methylamino pyridin-3-yl buta-1,3-dienyl benzo[d]thiazol-6-ol) in tauopathies, and in conditions not…Pattern of MRI findings in ephedronic encephalopathy
Objective: Objective of the study was to summarize the typical neuroradiological picture of ephedronic encephalopathy and its clinical correlates. Background: Methcathinone (Ephedrone, Jeff etc.) emerged as…Voxel-based Analysis of Cholinesterase Inhibitor Response in Lewy Body Disorders: A Prospective Observational Study
Objective: The objective is to investigate functional neuroimaging correlates of response to ChEIs in LBD. Background: Lewy body disorders (LBD), including dementia with Lewy bodies…Middle cerebellar peduncle width in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) width measurements in the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative parkinsonian disorders including multiple system atrophy…Volumetric analysis of limbic structures in patients with functional movement disorders
Objective: To evaluate amygdala and hippocampal volume in patients with functional movement disorders (FMD). Background: Functional neuroimaging studies in patients with FMD have demonstrated abnormalities…Presence of abnormalities on structural MRI associate with faster disease progression in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To identify MRI markers that are associated with more rapid clinical progression in multiple system atrophy (MSA) Background: The rate of clinical progression in…Brain iron accumulation in Wilson disease measured by quantitative susceptibility mapping
Objective: To investigate whether cerebral iron deposits in Wilson disease (WD) patients are associated with decreased serum ceruloplasmin oxidase activity and/or clinical severity. Background:…Longitudinal AV-1451 PET imaging in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Cortico-Basal Syndrome
Objective: To evaluate change in AV-1451 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Cortico-Basal Syndrome (CBS) over 9 months…
