Complemental Value of Microstructural and Macrostructural MRI in the Discrimination of Neurodegenerative Parkinson Syndromes
ConclusionWe were able to demonstrate that (1) MRI parameters that approximate the microstructure provided substantial added value over conventional macrostructural imaging, (2) multicompartmental biophysically motivated models performed better than the single compartmental DTI and (3) combining macrostructural and microstructural information classified NPS and HC with satisfactory performance, thus suggesting a complementary value of both approaches.
