Automated assessment of susceptibility map-weighted imaging in patients with clinically uncertain parkinsonism
This study is the first to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of software analyzing SMWI in patients presenting with CUPS. The findings highlight the promising diagnostic utility of SMWI in clinical practice for CUPS patients. Future studies are warranted as SMWI might be able to reduce the need for DAT-imaging in the future by offering a more accessible and cost-effective alternative.
