Abstract
⺠Neuromelanin MRI can visualize neuromelanin-containing nuclei. ⺠We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of this technique in the early stages of PD. ⺠We detected remarkable signal attenuations in the SNc and LC in early PD. ⺠Neuromelanin MRI can readily distinguish early PD from healthy control.
