Understand how MRI sign accurately identifies Parkinson’s in complex cases, offering a radiation-free alternative to SPECT ...

A recent study linking human pegivirus to Parkinson’s is leading scientists to examine the connection between other viral ...

It is thought that Parkinson's disease takes hold in the brain long before obvious motor symptoms appear, and a big focus for researchers is the development of diagnostic tools that can detect it ...

The typical way Parkinson's is diagnosed is with an MRI brain scan. But the researchers argue this scan isn't sensitive enough, and it can't reveal some of the biological changes that play out in ...

Researchers say MRI scans can help identify brain atrophy in people with Parkinson's and help predict the progression of the disease as well as what treatments might be most effective ...

By spotting damage to the locus coeruleus, 7T could help those with Parkinson's and a related disorder, progressive supranuclear palsy, who do not suffer from motor symptoms and may not respond to ...

So far, five Parkinson’s patients have undergone deep brain stimulation using the second-generation ClearPoint system at UCSF. Linda Sharp, 71, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 10 years ago, ...

Most MRI scanners are 3T or below, which refers to the strength of their magnetic field, whilst the researchers of this study utilized a high strength 7T MRI scanner. This MRI scanner enabled the ...

For over 50 years, Parkinson’s disease has challenged scientists with its progressive and irreversible damage to the brain. Most patients rely on medications that lose their effect over time.

Researchers say MRI scans can help identify brain atrophy in people with Parkinson's and help predict the progression of the disease as well as what treatments might be most effective ...
