In patients with parkinsonian syndromes, and particularly during the early stages of the clinical disease, differentiating between idiopathic Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy is challenging. Imaging plays an important role in early diagnosis, and the magnetic resonance parkinsonism index was shown to reliably differentiate between the two entities. Calculation of the index is a time-consuming process. We developed an algorithm allowing its automatic calculation based on 3D T1-weighted images, producing additional color-coded images for verification.

一种快速自动评估磁共振帕金森氏指数的方法。

在患有帕金森综合症的患者中，尤其是在临床疾病的早期阶段，区分特发性帕金森氏病和进行性核上性麻痹具有挑战性。成像在早期诊断中起着重要作用，并且磁共振帕金森氏指数显示可以可靠地区分这两个实体。索引的计算是一个耗时的过程。我们开发了一种算法，可以根据3D T1加权图像对其进行自动计算，并生成其他颜色编码的图像进行验证。
