 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 17 MR diffusion tensor imaging in multiple system atrophy diagnosis [Keywords:] magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, multiple system atrophy Multiple system atrophy (multiple system atrophy, MSA is a sporadic, and progressive degenerative diseases of the nervous system. The disease prevalence rate showed a trend of gradually increasing, the disease may raise the awareness and diagnostic tools. At present, MSA diagnosis has become the nerve within the science and neuroimaging research focus. MSA early manifestation of some clinical subtypes of Parkinson’s disease and other difficult to identify, and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI difficult early detection of MSA. Recent reports at home and abroad Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (Diffusion tensor imaging, DTI and DTI based on the diffusion tensor imaging (Diffusion tensor tractgraphy, DTT for MSA and Parkinson’s disease (Parkinson’s disease, PD, progressive supranuclear of paralysis (Progressive supranuclear palsy, PSP early diagnosis and provide important clues in differential diagnosis [1]. now the disease progress in the study are summarized below.

Multiple system atrophy named 1891 Menzel [2] first reported 2 cases of clinical manifestations of Parkinson’s syndrome, autonomic dysfunction, and pyramidal tract damage in patients, in line with current clinical and pathological changes in MSA 1900, Dejerine and Tomas [3] The neuropathy Science study found that such patients olives, pons, and cerebellar cells decreased, then has named olive pontine cerebellar atrophy (olivopontocerebellar atrophy, OPCA, 1960 年 Shy and Drager [4] reported 2 cases of autonomic function in progressive disorder and patients with Parkinson’s syndrome, characterized, and named Shy - Drager syndrome (Shy-Drager syndrome, 1961 and 1964 Adams [3] has reported 3 cases of autonomic dysfunction symptoms than Shy
