Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: We obtained MRI measurements for patients with PAGF, Richardson's syndrome, or Parkinson's disease: 9 patients with PAGF, 26 with Richardson's syndrome, and 93 with Parkinson's disease. We measured the area of the pons and midbrain on midsagittal MRIs and the midbrain width on axial MRIs. We also calculated the mean values of the superior cerebellar peduncle, middle cerebellar peduncle, and cerebral crus width; the pons area-to-midbrain area ratio; the middle cerebellar peduncle width-to-superior cerebellar peduncle width ratio; and the magnetic resonance (MR) Parkinsonism index. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
