Abstract
Parkinson disease is characterized by dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. There are various imaging markers for Parkinson disease. Recent advances in MRI have enabled elucidation of the underlying pathophysiologic changes in the nigral structure. This has contributed to accurate and early diagnosis and has improved disease progression monitoring. This article aims to review recent developments in nigral imaging for Parkinson disease and other parkinsonian syndromes, including nigrosome imaging, neuromelanin imaging, quantitative iron mapping, and diffusion-tensor imaging. In particular, this article examines nigrosome imaging using 7-T MRI and 3-T susceptibility-weighted imaging. Finally, this article discusses volumetry and its clinical importance related to symptom manifestation. This review will improve understanding of recent advancements in nigral imaging of Parkinson disease.
