Riassunto
Recently it has been hypothesized that Parkinson’s Disease comprises two subtypes: a brain-first (top-down) type, where alpha-synuclein pathology initially arises in the brain with secondary spreading to the peripheral autonomic nervous system, and a body-first (bottom-up) type, where the pathology originates in the enteric or peripheral autonomic nervous system and then spreads to the brain. Our study aims to reveal possible differences between the two subtypes using radiomics-enhanced dopamine transporter SPECT image analysis and DaTQUANT semi-quantitative output data.
