Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the value of susceptibility-weighted imaging(SWI) in diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD) and assessment of disease severity. Methods:Totally 30 PD patients and 30 healthy volunteers underwent SWI. The phase values of nuclei in extracorticospinal tract were measured and compared between PD patients and healthy subjects. Results:The phase values of sustantia nigra pars compacta, globus pallidus, putamen in PD group were all significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.01). The phase values of sustantia nigra pars compacta, globus pallidus and putamen reduced at the early stage in PD group, and then further reduced along with the severity of disease(P<0.05). Conclusions:SWI has important clinical value in diagnosing PD and evaluating the disease severity. |
