Researchers are using a very powerful MRI scanner (called 7.0T) to take detailed pictures of the brains of people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to identify imaging patterns that could help doctors better understand different types of Parkinson's disease and predict how the disease might change over time. Your participation would involve getting these advanced brain scans and possibly returning for follow-up visits.
Currently, doctors don't have reliable imaging markers to distinguish between different subtypes of Parkinson's disease or to predict how quickly the disease will progress in each person. This trial aims to find specific brain imaging patterns that could help doctors personalize treatment and give patients better information about what to expect.

You would visit the hospital for one or more MRI brain scans using the advanced 7.0T scanner. The researchers will take detailed pictures of your brain to look for specific patterns related to Parkinson's disease. You may be asked to return for follow-up visits over an extended period so doctors can track how your brain imaging changes over time and compare it with how your Parkinson's symptoms are changing.
