18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of chorea

Chorea is thought to be caused by deactivation of the indirect pathway in the basal ganglia circuit. However, few imaging studies have evaluated the basal ganglia circuit in actual patients with chorea. We investigated the lesions and mechanisms underlying chorea using brain magnetic resonance imagi...
