Magnetic resonance imaging in Huntington disease.
Four patients with Huntington disease were imaged using CT and inversion-recovery magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In all four patients the caudate nucleus and corpus striatum were well demonstrated and noted to be atrophic. MR is believed to be superior to CT for imaging morphologic changes of Huntington disease.
