28th December 2015 - New research ULTRA EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Researchers determined the value of enhanced substantia nigra echo in the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease by analyzing the intensity and area of substantia nigra echo using transcranial Doppler sonography (TCS). Transcranial Doppler sonography is a technique that uses a handheld, microprocessor-controlled, low-frequency, pulsed Doppler transducer to measure the velocity and pulsatility of blood flow within certain areas of the brain.

Analysis of substantia nigra echo is therefore of practical use for the diagnosis of the ultra early stage Parkinson's Disease. It is cheaper and easier than the primary scanning methods and so can potentially improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis to significantly enhance the early clinical prevention of disability.
