ANALYSIS OF NEUROIMAGING AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL INDICATORS IN PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE

Abstract

The role of MRI in diagnosing the disease was used only to exclude such changes as tumors, subdural hematomas, cerebral vascular disease, and hydrocephalus, which can cause secondary Parkinsonism. In the early stages of the disease, cortico-basal degeneration (CBD) provides little information. As the disease progresses, unilateral degeneration of the light pink hemisphere is observed on neuroimaging examination. In the pathogenesis of the disease, not only the colored substance of the basal ganglia is damaged, but also the white matter, which is part of it. The results of this examination supplement the clinical findings and help distinguish primary parkinsonism from secondary parkinsonism. For example, MRI examinations are used to determine the causes of lacunar strokes in the extrapyramidal nuclei, tumors, pathological conditions such as hydrocephalus and diseases, i.e., parkinsonism.
