Magnetic resonance imaging in Parkinson's disease and parkinsonian syndromes
Abstract
High field strength magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a noninvasive means of evaluating patients with parkinsonism. Using strict clinical criteria, we began a prospective study of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonian syndromes (PS) including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and atypical parkinsonism (ATYP). We detected moderate to severe putaminal hypointensity more frequently in PS than in PD and controls, although putaminal hypointensity did not distinguish between MSA, PSP, or ATYP. Signal intensity in the lateral substantia nigra did not differ significantly among patients with PD, PS, or controls and was therefore not a useful MRI marker. Pars compacta width was significantly narrower in both PD and PS. Subcortical and periventricular hyperintense foci were more abundant in PD and PS than controls. Atrophy of the brainstem occurred only in patients with PS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
