World's First MRI Based Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis Using Nigrosome 1 As A Biomarker
mN1q
(Identifies abnormalities of morphological changes in Nigrosome 1)
mPDia
(Automates quantification and volumetric analysis of the substantia nigra and nigrosome 1 region)
mN1q and mPDia are automated diagnotic aid software products using Heuron's novel
susceptibility map-weighted imaging (SMwI)
Earlier Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis Possible
Nigrosome 1 is located at human midbrain
Nigrosome 1 is located at human midbrain
Nigrosome 1 is rich in dopaminergic cells which plays an important role in movement and coordination. Studies have shown that excessive loss of the dopaminergic cells leads to parkinsonism. Visual differences can even be observed.
mPdia visualizes the nigrosome 1 region by slicing the
