Abstract

The present study aimed to observe the structural changes of the extracorticospinal tract in Parkinson's disease (PD) using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance (MR) scans. The association of DTI parameters and brain‑iron accumulation with PD was examined and imaging signs useful in the diagnosis of PD were explored. The study included 30 patients with PD and 30 age‑ and gender‑matched healthy controls who underwent routine MR, SWI and DTI scans. The corrected phase (CP) values of the substantia nigra (SN), red nucleus (RN), globus pallidus (GP) and putamen (PUT) were measured, and fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were obtained. Significant differences were found in the CP values between the PD and control groups in the SN, RN and PUT, but there were no differences in other regions of interest (ROIs). The FA values of the SN and PUT in the PD group were significantly decreased compared with those of the control group, but there was no significant difference in the FA values of the GP. Furthermore, there was no significant inter‑group difference in the ADC values of any ROIs. In conclusion, SWI is a method useful for evaluating brain‑iron deposition in PD. Increasing iron storage levels have previously been shown to be associated with PD pathogenesis but not with the degree of PD severity. FA values may be useful for diagnosing PD, and DTI may offer some insight into PD pathomechanisms and clinical diagnosis.
