The basal ganglia and its associated circuitry can be assessed with a variety of neuroimaging methods that can provide information regarding specific neurotransmitter systems, the functional activity of brain regions, and the structural integrity of these regions. In Parkinson's disease (PD) and related atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS), these imaging methods may be useful for many reasons, including aiding in differential diagnosis and measuring the efficacy of new therapies. This paper reviews recent developments in the application of neuroimaging to the assessment of PD and related APS.
基底神经节及其相关神经回路可以通过多种神经影像学方法进行评估，这些方法能够提供有关特定神经递质系统、脑区功能活动以及这些区域结构完整性的信息。在帕金森病（PD）和相关的非典型帕金森综合征（APS）中，这些成像方法可能因多种原因而有用，包括辅助鉴别诊断和衡量新疗法的疗效。本文综述了神经影像学在PD和相关APS评估应用中的最新进展。
