## Abstract Transcranial sonography (TCS) is potentially useful for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, studies on TCS have so far been restricted to European populations. To investigate the efficacy of TCS in Korean PD patients and its correlation with the clinical features, we car

## 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
## Abstract Substantia nigra (SN) hyperechogenicity assessed by transcranial brain sonography (TCS) is a characteristic finding in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). In contrast, SN hypoechogenicity on TCS has been recently demonstrated in restless legs syndrome (RLS). RLS is one of the most comm
## Abstract Transcanial sonography (TCS) is increasingly applied in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD), but investigator bias may influence the results of examination. Blinding the sonographer to the clinical diagnosis of 42 PD patients and 35 controls, we obtained a positive predictive valu
