Excerpt

Transcranial sonography (TCS) is suitable to detect the accumulation of trace metals in the basal ganglia [1], and may be useful as a simple and safe technique in many neurodegenerative diseases [24]. Although the exact nature of basal ganglia hyperechogenicity is unclear, many studies have demonstrated an association between hyperechogenicity and iron accumulation [5]. In addition to iron, TCS hyperechogenicity has been associated with other trace metals, like copper and manganese [1]. …
