Visual vs. automated analysis of [123I]FP-CIT SPECT scans in patients with parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate the differences between visual and automated analyses of brain dopamine transporter (DAT) SPECT scans. Background: Clinical evaluation of DAT SPECT scans typically…Disrupted hubs in functional brain networks in subtype-specific Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To detect the changing pattern in functional network hubs in subtype-specific Parkinson's disease (PD) using resting-state functional magnetic resosonce imaging (Rs-fMRI). Background: PD is…Multimodal imaging assessment of nigrostriatal pathway in Parkinson’s disease using 11C-PE2I PET and neuromelanin-sensitive MR
Objective: To evaluate the nigrostratal pathway with multimodal assessment using striatal 11C-PE2I PET and nigral Neuromelanin-sensitive MR in Parkinson's disease. Background: The main pathological features…Comparison of DAT and DOPA PET tracer for assessing severity and progression in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aims of this study were to quantify striatal uptake of 18F-DOPA and 11C-PE2I in the same group of PD patients, to assess the…Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity in Parkinson´s disease motor phenotypes
Objective: To evaluate substantia nigra hyperechogenicity (SN+) with transcranial sonography (TCS) in different PD motor subtypes. Background: Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients display a range of…Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials as biomarkers for non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore the relation between the non-motor symptoms (NMS) of PD and the involvement of brainstem through studying VEMPs. Background: Degeneration of several brainstem…Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate pain-motor integration experimentally in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), with and without chronic pain. Background: Although chronic pain is a common non-motor…Behavioral and neuroimaging effects of LSVT-BIG and conventional physiotherapy in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate (1) the changes of non-motor symptoms such as depression, sleep disorders, pain and cognitive deficits in PD by practicing LSVT BIG therapy…MRI signatures of the brain of Parkinson’s disease and idiopathic REM sleep behavioral disorder subjects
Objective: To characterize brain microstructural integrity, iron loads, and functional connectivity in 10 idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), 10 Parkinson's disease (PD)…Changes of brain structure and cognition in individuals with possible prodromal Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Investigating brain structure and cognition in healthy individuals with positive Parkinson's disease (PD) risk markers (hyposmia, increased hyperechogenic area of the substantia nigra). Background:…
