| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated whether 3T susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) can be used to detect the presence or absence of nigrosome-1 in patients with a differential diagnosis of Parkinson`s disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We demonstrated that 3T SWI used to assess the presence or absence of nigrosome-1 had high diagnostic accuracy in a population of patients with a differential diagnosis of PD and DLB. Furthermore, we demonstrated that results obtained by using SWI to assess the presence or absence of nigrosome-1 are comparable to those obtained with DAT-SPECT using 123I-FP-CIT.
We investigated the relationship between diffusion MRI (NODDI, DTI) and specific binding ratio (SBR) as an indicator of dopamine transporter density. On correlation analysis, right SBR and right posterior putamen OD showed negative correlation. Changes in the posterior putamen on OD map suggested nigrostriatal dopaminergic nerve cell loss in PD.
