Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging modality that allows the visualization of structural information within the body. With advancements in technology of acquisition and analysis, MRI can be used to identify, characterize, and follow up over time potential structural, microstructural, and functional signature of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This has allowed for MRI specific changes PD to be explored in vivo, from disease progression to the correlation of MRI changes to clinical variables. This chapter summarizes the different structural, microstructural, perfusion, and magnetic susceptibility changes seen in idiopathic and familial PD. The other key element of this chapter will look at specific MRI biomarkers in PD and their potential role to help track the evolution of motor and nonmotor symptoms of PD.
