abstract = {A neuropathological cerebral staging concept for
progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has been proposed that
tau inclusions in PSP may progress in a sequential regional
pattern. The objective was to develop a hypothesis-guided
region/tract of interest-based (ROI/TOI) approach to use
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) targeted to analyze in vivo
the regions that are prone to be involved at each
neuropathological stage of PSP.Two data cohorts were
analyzed: cohort A of 78 PSP patients [55 Richardson's
syndrome (PSP-RS) and 23 PSP with predominant parkinsonism
(PSP-P)] and 63 controls, recorded at 3.0T at multiple
sites, and a single-site cohort B constituted by 1.5T data
of 66 PSP patients (46 PSP-RS and 20 PSP-P) and 44 controls.
In cohort A, 21 PSP patients (13 PSP-RS and 8 PSP-P) and 17
controls obtained a follow-up scan after 17 months. Whole
brain-based spatial statistics (WBSS) was used to identify
the alterations in PSP patients vs. controls. The combined
ROI- and TOI-based approach targeted structures that are
prone to be involved during the course of PSP.WBSS
demonstrated alterations predominantly in
brainstem/midbrain, basal ganglia, and frontal lobe, more
pronounced in the longitudinal data. Statistical analyses of
the ROIs/TOIs showed a sequential pattern of structures that
were assigned to previously defined neuropathological
steps.The combined ROI- and TOI-based DTI approach was able
to map the disease stages of PSP in vivo cross-sectionally
and longitudinally, lending support to DTI as a technical
marker for imaging disease progression according to PSP
stages. This approach might be useful as a tool for
stratification of PSP patients MRI with respect to its
proposed neuropathological progression in future
longitudinal and autopsy-controlled studies.},
