Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and the trace of diffusion tensor a marker of water molecule diffusivity, provide information on structural integrity of nervous tissues. To investigate structural lesions within the brain's neuronal architecture in early stages of Parkinson's disease, 12 patients with disease duration of 3.5 +/- 1.5 years were studied with DWI. Data were compared with 12 age-matched healthy control subjects.
