Download or read book Molecular Imaging in Parkinson s Disease written by Cristina Polito and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work explores brain functional changes in drug-naïve Parkinson's disease (PD) patients by means of molecular imaging techniques. Thirty-one consecutive drug-naïve PD patients from the Neurological Clinic of the University of Flor-ence underwent clinical assessment, neuropsychological assessment, MRI, [123I]FP-CIT SPECT, [18F]FDG PET. First, [18F]FDG-PET was employed to identify in drug-naïve PD patients brain metabolic alteration uniquely related to disease process and not modulated by anti-parkinsonian therapeutic intervention. Second, [18F]FDG-PET and [123I]FP-CIT SPECT were employed together to explore the early functional changes in brain function related to dopaminergic depletion in the putamen and in the caudate nucleus.
Download or read book Transcranial Sonography in Movement Disorders written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation "This is the most comprehensive, current volume on transcranial sonography (TCS) in movement disorders. It is written by an experienced, international group of sonographers who present interpretations of recent research findings and provide recommendations about applying the technique. The volume features many demonstrative images to help explain ultrasound anatomy, the TCS technique, and typical findings in specific movement disorders. Exciting new applications are discussed including early and premotor diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and, the use of TCS for intra- and postoperative position control of deep brain stimulation electrodes. This volume gives insight into this rapidly developing and increasingly applied technique, emphasising the validity of the TCS method, the differential diagnostic capacity of the findings and its supplementary value to other neuroimaging techniques. This is an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers engaged with movement disorders."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers all aspects of one of the most advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques, namely Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Fractional Anisotropy (FA) values in early Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. It provides step-by-step descriptions of DTI and its use in the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease by using FA values at several grey and white matter regions of the brain with helpful MRI DTI images. It includes clear flow charts with MRI DTI imaging protocol for Parkinson’s disease to aid in early diagnosis and treatment. The book covers essential information on anatomy and pathology in Parkinson’s disease and includes dedicated chapters on diffusion tensor imaging and FA in Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, it covers the role of magnetic resonance imaging in Parkinson’s disease with routine findings for Parkinson’s disease in MRI, followed by advanced imaging biomarkers and predictors in Parkinson’s disease. The book will assist the practitioners in the early detection of Parkinson’s disease using specific imaging biomarkers with the help of FA values, which will help in the early treatment of PD patients and thus extend and improve their quality of life. It will also be relevant for MD radiology, M.Sc. medical imaging technology students/trainees and Ph.D. medical imaging graduates as well as B.Sc MIT students.
