Diffusion Tensor Imaging Along the Perivascular Space Index in Different Stages of Parkinson’s Disease
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the glymphatic system activity in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) using the diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) methods.Methods: In total, 71 patients with idiopathic PD and 36 age- and sex-matched normal co...

In the early PD group, there was a significantly positive correlation between ALPS index and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (β = 0.021, p = 0.029) and a negative correlation between ALPS index and EPVS score (β = −0.050, p = 0.034), after controlling for multiple variables.
