Diagnostic Performance of Putaminal Hypointensity on Susceptibility MRI in Distinguishing Parkinson Disease from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) have similar clinical signs and symptoms, making accurate clinical diagnosis difficult. T2* gradient echo (T2* GRE), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) are susceptibility MR imaging sequences that provide more information about brain iron levels than other conventional MR imaging.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic power of putaminal hypointensity on T2* GRE, SWI, and QSM in distinguishing PSP from IPD.

Methods

Eligible studies were identified via systematic searches of PubMed and Clarivate Analytics® Web of Science® Core Collection. Studies that satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed. A met
