Combination of midbrain-to-pontine ratio and cardiac MIBG scintigraphy to differentiate Parkinson's disease from multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy

Combination of midbrain-to-pontine ratio and cardiac MIBG scintigraphy to differentiate Parkinson's disease from multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy

Background: An early clinical differentiation between Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) remains a challenge. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the combination use of midbrain-to-pontine ratio (M/P ratio)...
