16.2 Conclusions
By virtue of greater signal intensity, susceptibility arte-facts and chemical shift, 3.0 T MR imagers with advanced techniques have provided promising results for the study of PD that could not be obtained with standard magnets. Microstructural, metabolic and functional data will, as never before, contribute to the early diagnosis and follow-up of PD.
