In this article, we review the state of the art knowledge concerning structural and functional imaging in multiple system atrophy (MSA). The relative value of imaging modalities in the differential diagnosis of MSA from other parkinsonian syndromes is debated. It is concluded that, although neuroimaging biomarkers provide valuable supportive data alongside clinical assessments, it is not possible to use them as surrogate markers.
在本文中，我们回顾了关于多系统萎缩（MSA）结构和功能成像的最新知识。成像方式在MSA与其他帕金森综合征鉴别诊断中的相对价值存在争议。得出的结论是，尽管神经影像学生物标志物在临床评估的同时提供了有价值的支持性数据，但不可能将它们用作替代标志物。
