Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Clinically, it is characterized by motor symptoms. Parkinson's disease should be differentiated from atypical parkinsonism conditions. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging is the primary imaging method employed in order to facilitate the differential diagnosis, and its role has grown after the development of advanced techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging. The purpose of this article was to review the role of magnetic resonance imaging in Parkinson's disease and in the differential diagnosis with atypical parkinsonism, emphasizing the diffusion technique.
帕金森病是最常见的神经退行性疾病之一。临床上，其特征为运动症状。帕金森病应与非典型帕金森综合征相鉴别。传统磁共振成像为便于鉴别诊断所采用的主要成像方法，且在诸如扩散加权成像等先进技术发展之后其作用有所增强。本文旨在综述磁共振成像在帕金森病及其与非典型帕金森综合征鉴别诊断中的作用，重点阐述扩散技术。
