摘要
Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation field-cycling relaxometry is a technique, able to report on water mobility in tissues. By means of this technique, post-mortem specimens from both controls and idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients have been investigated. Results show different relaxometric behavior between the groups, which is consistent with protein aggregation in Parkinson's disease specimens. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
