The diagnostic value of diffusion kurtosis imaging in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Under the background that diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) has become a research hotspot of central nervous system diseases, there are no studies with large sample size evaluating the value of DKI in diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD). Moreover, the diagnostic efficacy of DKI in PD is not consistent. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to use the method of meta-analysis, to summarize and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of DKI in the identification of PD, and to explore the value of its clinical application.

Methods

We use PICOS principles for project design. The included patients were PD patients, and the control group were healthy volunteers. We hope to use DKI to make a differential diagnosis between the two, and this study is a diagnostic test. We pe
