As we enter the era of therapeutic trials in human prion
diseases, identification of imaging secondary endpoints
is paramount. We present the largest comprehensive
cross-sectional and longitudinal findings of
microstructural changes in a heterogenous group of
patients with human prion disease and argue that radial
diffusivity in the putamen is an independent predictor
of disease severity and a potential secondary endpoint
in future clinical trials in this disease.
