Abstract

The previous chapter outlined the clinical evidence for FA in PD. In this chapter, we will discuss important imaging biomarker findings of FA in early PD with an emphasis on key findings in the Indian population. There is a lack of data for the Indian population on FA characteristics as imaging biomarkers in early PD.
