Abstract
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent and studied types of dementia. Traditionally, studies about this neurological disorder have made use of functional SPECT images. Nevertheless, to avoid some of its disadvantages with special focus on its expensive cost and low resolution, in the last years many studies have tried to use another imaging alternatives such as MRI scans able to evaluate subtle changes in the Grey Matter tissue. When analyzing the state of the art on this subject, we have found several shortcomings in the way of proceeding. Therefore, the work presented here presents a qualitative analysis of the regions of interest (ROIs) when using MRI for PD by the computation of statistical significance maps. For that, we have made use of a parametric and a non-parametric approaches using the widely known Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) package and the novel Statistical Agnostic Mapping (SAM) proposal. Results obtained suggest that there are no relevant ROIs in GM MRI imaging contrary to other modalities like the FP-CIT SPECT scans evaluated on the striatum region.
