Hi,
I'm going to chime in here to say that an MRI sometimes is used as a backward way to make a diagnosis of PD. Basically, it's not MS or any other sort of brain disorder discernible by MRI, so, by exclusion, it's one step closer to possibly being PD. At least that is what I have experienced at the clinical level before an ET diagnosis which is now regretfully, unmistakably PD.
