In this review, we discuss the role of neuroimaging in assessing treatment options for movement disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease (PD). Imaging methods to assess dopaminergic function have recently been applied in trials of potential neuroprotective agents. Other imaging methods using regional metabolism and/or cerebral perfusion have been recently introduced to quantify the modulation of network activity as an objective marker of the treatment response. Both imaging strategies have provided novel insights into the mechanisms underlying a variety of pharmacological and stereotaxic surgical treatment strategies for PD and other movement disorders.
在本综述中,我们讨论神经影像学在评估运动障碍,特别是帕金森病(PD)治疗方案中的作用。评估多巴胺能功能的成像方法最近已应用于潜在神经保护剂的试验中。最近还引入了其他利用区域代谢和/或脑灌注的成像方法,以量化网络活动的调节,作为治疗反应的客观指标。这两种成像策略都为PD和其他运动障碍的各种药物和立体定向手术治疗策略的潜在机制提供了新的见解。
