BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The diagnostic performance of deep learning model that simultaneously detecting and quantifying nigrosome-1 abnormality by using susceptibility map-weighted imaging (SMwI) remains unexplored. This study aimed to develop and va...
Multiple reference panels of a given tissue or multiple tissues often exist, and multiple regression methods could be used for training gene expression imputation models for transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS). To leverage expression imputa...

BACKGROUND: Nigrosome 1 (N1), the largest nigrosome region in the ventrolateral area of the substantia nigra pars compacta, is identifiable by the "N1 sign" in long echo time gradient echo MRI. The N1 sign's absence is a vital Parkinson's disease (PD...
Here we present a deep learning-based image analysis platform (DLAP), tailored to autonomously quantify cell numbers, and fluorescence signals within cellular compartments, derived from RNAscope or immunohistochemistry. We utilised DLAP to analyse su...
PURPOSE: Neuromelanin-sensitive MRI (NM-MRI) has proven useful for diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) by showing reduced signals in the substantia nigra (SN) and locus coeruleus (LC), but requires a long scan time. The aim of this study was to asses...

BACKGROUND: Isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is considered a prodromal stage of parkinsonism. Neurodegenerative changes in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) in parkinsonism can be detected using neuromelanin-sensitive MRI.
The advent of susceptibility-sensitive MRI techniques, such as susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), has enabled accurate in vivo visualization and quantification of iron deposition within the human brain. Although previous approaches have been intr...
OBJECTIVES: Despite its use in determining nigrostriatal degeneration, the lack of a consistent interpretation of nigrosome 1 susceptibility map-weighted imaging (SMwI) limits its generalized applicability. To implement and evaluate a diagnostic algo...

The basal ganglia (BG) represent a critical center of the nervous system for sensorial discrimination. Although it is known that Huntington's disease (HD) affects this brain area, it still remains unclear how HD patients achieve paradoxical improveme...
PURPOSE: Visibility of nigrosome 1 in the substantia nigra (SN) is used as an MR imaging biomarker for Parkinson's disease. Because of lower susceptibility induced tissue contrast and SNR visualization of the SN pars compacta (SNPC) using conventiona...
