Parkinsonism is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The cortical parcellation algorithm was applied to evaluate the cortical involvement in the patients with PD by using diffusion tensor image. The fractional anisotropy is feasible in the brain of patients with Parkinsonism. Therefore fractional anisotropy could be a potential image based biomarker for monitoring Parkinson progression.
