Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease as the result from the loss of cell in basal ganglia. Fixel-Based Analysis can qualified the fiber density and fibre-bundle cross-section in the white matter. The fiber density and fibre-bundle cross-section is feasible to interpret the microstructure changes in the brain of patients with PD. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the long-term white matter changes in Parkinson's disease by using Fixel-Based Analysis.
