Abstract

Role of brain imaging for Parkinsonism T brain MRI is normal in Pakinson's disease. Brain MRI is useless when clinical presentation is typical of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Brain MRI is the exam of choice for differentiating idiopathic Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism. DATscan* confirms or rules out dopaminergic degeneration but does not separate idiopathic Parkinson's disease from Parkinson "plus" syndromes. FDG PET is helpful to separate idiopathic Parkinson's disease from Parkinson "plus" syndromes.
