Using advanced MRI to study Parkinson's disease

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the imaging characteristics of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study will detect subtle changes in patients with early-stage PD compared to healthy individuals and investigate the different imaging characteristics among various subtypes of PD. Additionally, long-term follow-up will assess the correlation between imaging changes and clinical score alterations in PD patients.
