Imaging in Parkinsonism and other extrapyramidal disorders

Extrapyramidal disorders can be classified as pathologies that affect basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus), subtalamic nucleus and structures that are functionally connected with them (substantia nigra). On histological level affected tissues exhibit high level of deposits of parama...

Description
Summary:Extrapyramidal disorders can be classified as pathologies that affect basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus), subtalamic nucleus and structures that are functionally connected with them (substantia nigra). On histological level affected tissues exhibit high level of deposits of paramagnetic ions (presumably iron and copper) and loss of neural tissue. In turn this is manifested in loss of volume of brain structures and dysfunction of specific neural tracts. Imaging techniques were focused on tracing of those changes.
