MR image texture in Parkinson’s disease: a longitudinal study.

The article presents a study that examined the importance of magnetic resonance (MR) image texture analysis method in diagnosing patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The researchers found the potential of the method to detect brain structural changes and suggested the enhancement of the method's protocol and repeatability before possible clinical use. Details on the materials and methods used by the researchers are discussed.
