Can Parkinson's disease be detected

summary

My uncle is suffering from Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a terrible disease. The harm caused by Parkinson's disease is also serious. Patients with Parkinson's disease should be treated as soon as possible. Do you want to know whether Parkinson's disease can be detected?

Can Parkinson's disease be detected

First of all: Parkinson's disease can be detected. Brain CT and MRI examination: as Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, pathological changes are mainly in the substantia nigra, striatum, globus pallidus, caudate nucleus and cerebral cortex. Therefore, in addition to general brain atrophy, basal ganglia calcification can sometimes be seen on CT images.

Secondly, MRI can show ventricular enlargement and other brain atrophy, T2 weighted images often have multiple high signal spots in the basal ganglia and white matter.

Finally: SPECT imaging findings: through dopamine transporter (DAT) functional imaging, it is unclear how dopamine transporter (DAT) transports dopamine (DA). Dat is mainly distributed in basal ganglia and thalamus, followed by frontal lobe.

matters needing attention

For the main examination of Parkinson's disease, the first is CT, MRI examination, CT imaging findings, in addition to universal brain atrophy, sometimes visible basal ganglia calcification. In addition to ventriculomegaly and other signs of brain atrophy on MRI, multiple hyperintense spots were often found in basal ganglia and white matter on T2 weighted images.
