## Abstract ## Background: Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity assessed by transcranial sonography is a typical finding in up to 90% of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, although its value as a surrogate marker for disease progression in Parkinson's disease is controversial. ^123^IβFPβC
## Abstract ## Purpose: To determine if tissue magnetic susceptibility is a more direct marker of tissue iron content than other MR markers of iron. This study presents the first quantitative, in vivo measurements of the susceptibility of the substantia nigra in patients with Parkinson's disease.
## Abstract Increased echogenic size (hyperechogenicity) of the substantia nigra (SN) is a characteristic transcranial sonography finding in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The SN echogenic size does not change in the course of the disease. In order to see whether this stable ultrasound mar
## Abstract Transcranial Doppler imaging (TCDI) has been used as a noninvasive diagnostic tool to differentiate Parkinson's disease (PD) from atypical parkinsonism by detecting hyperechogenicity in the substantia nigra (SN). To our knowledge, no TCDI data are available for Asian populations, and TC
Recent magnetic resonance imaging studies suggest an increased transverse relaxation rate and reduced diffusion tensor imaging fractional anisotropy values in the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease. The transverse relaxation rate and fractional anisotropy changes may reflect different aspects o
