Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This project will evaluate the utility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) as an adjunctive method to improve early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Two populations will be evaluated in this study: 1) Individuals with uncertain PD diagnosis who receive a DaTscan, and 2) individuals with well characterized PD and healthy controls, drawn from the fully enrolled Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) PD and control cohorts.
