Free-water (FW) in the posterior substantia nigra (pSN) obtained from a bi-tensor diffusion MRI model has been shown to significantly increase over 1 and 4 years in early-stage Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD) compared to healthy controls (HC) suggesting that pSN FW may be an IPD progression biomarker. Due to the known temporal posterior-to-anterior SN degeneration in IPD, we assessed for longitudinal changes in FW in both the posterior (p) and anterior (a) SN in later-stage IPD and age-matched HC for comparison. 19 IPD and 19 age-matched HC subjects were assessed on the same 3T-MRI at Baseline and after approximately 3-years. Baseline mean IPD duration was 7.1 years. Both aSN and pSN FW showed significant intergroup differences at Baseline (p<0.001 and p=0.014, respectively, IPD vs. HC); however, only aSN FW showed significant longitudinal group x time interaction increases (p=0.021, IPD vs. HC). There were no significant longitudinal group x time interaction differences found for conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) or FW-corrected DTI assessments in either the aSN or pSN. Results from this study provide further evidence supporting SN FW as a promising disease progression biomarker in IPD that may help to identify disease-modifying therapies if used in future clinical trials. Our novel finding of longitudinal increases in aSN and not pSN FW is potentially a result of the much longer disease duration of our cohort compared to previously studied cohorts and the known posterior-to-anterior SN degeneration that occurs over time in IPD.
