Synopsis
Hybrid PET-MRI is an emerging technique that allows multimodal evaluation of brain structure and function. This study evaluates longitudinal PET-MRI in one patient with stage-2 joHD, to assess changes related to disease progression. This approach might be useful to test the efficacy of disease-modifying drugs.
