Assessment

Primary outcomes

The error and agreement between MRI-derived estimated indices and measured indices obtained from nuclear medicine imaging.

Key secondary outcomes

1. Performance of brain MRI-based analysis for classifying nuclear medicine imaging findings as normal or abnormal.
2. Performance of the imaging analysis method taking into account prediction uncertainty and indeterminate cases.
3. Evaluation of the potential clinical utility of brain MRI-based imaging analysis.

Key inclusion criteria

Patients with Parkinson disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), essential tremor (ET), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA), or isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), as well as individuals who were initially suspected of having parkinsonian syndrome (PS), including PD, but had a normal DaTscan result, will be eligible if they attended the Department of Neurology, Juntendo University Hospital, between January 1, 2010 and the date of study approval and underwent both brain MRI and DaTscan examinations.

Inclusion Criteria

1. DaTscan must have been performed within 12 months before or after the brain MRI examination.

2. Participants must have a clinical diagnosis of PD, DLB, ET, PSP, MSA, or iRBD, or must have been initially suspected of having PS, including PD, but subsequently had a normal DaTscan result.

Reference Diagnostic Criteria

PD: Clinically established PD or clinically probable PD according to the 2015 MDS Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Parkinson Disease.

DLB: Probable or possible DLB according to the Fourth Consensus Report of the DLB Consortium (McKeith et al., 2017).

PSP: Probable or possible PSP according to the 2017 MDS Diagnostic Criteria for PSP.

MSA: Clinically established MSA or clinically probable MSA according to the 2022 MDS Diagnostic Criteria for MSA.

iRBD: REM sleep behavior disorder meeting the 2023 AASM ICSD-3-TR diagnostic criteria for RBD, without secondary causes or manifest neurological disease.

The group with normal DaTscan results may include healthy individuals and patients with drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP), vascular parkinsonism (VaP), idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), and other conditions.

Key exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria
1. Patients with a history of head trauma, metabolic disease, severe psychiatric illness, or other central nervous system disorders.
2. Patients taking any of the following medications: sertraline, reserpine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, cocaine, methylphenidate, bupropion, mazindol, phentermine, benztropine, modafinil, or tetrabenazine.
3. Patients who are deemed inappropriate for participation in the study by the principal investigator.
