Abstract

The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) is primarily made by clinical symptoms, but might still remain challenging even for experienced neurologists. Neuroradiologic imaging may be a useful tool in the diagnostic work-up, particularly for excluding other diseases, such as normal pressure hydrocephalus, multi-infarct dementia and cerebellar lesions. Nuclear medicine methods can additionally support the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PD and MSA.
