Detailed explanation-1: -No neuroimaging technique is specifically recommended for routine use in clinical practice for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Detailed explanation-2: -Background. Functional MRI (fMRI) has been widely used to study abnormal patterns of functional connectivity at rest in patients with movement disorders such as idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Imaging studies to evaluate Parkinson’s disease and Parkinsonian syndromes include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which examines the structure of the brain, and DaTscan, an imaging test approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to detect the dopamine function in the brain.
Detailed explanation-4: -CT scan / MRI scan Neither scan can confirm whether you have Parkinson’s disease but they can help doctors rule out other conditions which could potentially be causing your symptoms.
Detailed explanation-5: -Multimodal MRI has significantly improved diagnostic accuracy and understanding of the pathophysiology of Parkinsonian disorders. Structural and quantitative MRI sequences provide biomarkers sensitive to different tissue properties that detect abnormalities specific to each disease and contribute to the diagnosis.
