MRI illuminates the structural and functional organization of the brain -- thus helping clinicians predict the progression of Parkinson's disease in patients in its early stages, researchers have found. Parkinson's disease can manifest as tremors, slowness of movement, or rigidity, and its symptoms worsen over time, according to the RSNA.
