PurposeParkinson’s disease (PD) is caused by a selective degeneration of dopamine neurons. The relationship between dopamine transporter (DAT) density and gray matter volume has been unclear. Here we investigated the voxelwise correlation between gray matter volume and DAT binding measured by 123I-N-ω-fluoropropyl-2β-carboxymethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane (123I-FP-CIT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT; DaTscan™ imaging) in PD.Materials and methodsThirty-one male patients with PD were examined with MRI and DaTscan. To measure nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration in PD, the specific binding ratio (SBR) of the striatum was obtained by DaTscan. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of 3D T1-weighted images was used to evaluate the relationships between the regional gray matter volume and the SBR in the striatum.ResultsThere were significant positive correlations between the SBR and the gray matter volume in the right pulvinar and posterior middle temporal gyrus and a trend level in the left pulvinar, all of which are associated with the second visual pathway.ConclusionThe nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration might affect the secondary visual pathway, leading to visual dysfunctions in PD.
