Abstract: Wilson’s disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of ATP7B gene leading to impaired copper metabolism. Brain imaging, such as magnetic resonance (MR) and transcranial sonography (TCS) in WD patients, shows changes mostly in the… read more here.

Abstract: Substantia nigra (SN) hyperechogenicity has been proved to be a characteristic finding for idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), occurring in more than 90% of the patients. This echofeature is owed to increased amounts of iron in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3233/jpd-213000
Abstract: BACKGROUND Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons within the brainstem substantia nigra (SN) is both a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and a major contributor to symptom expression. Therefore, non-invasive evaluation of the SN is critical… read more here.
