Progresses In Magnetic Resonance Imaging Of Essential Tremor

Essential tremor(ET)is considered as the most common movement disorder origining from the central nervous system in adults.The pathophysiology of ET remains unclear.Histopathological examination is the most effective method to ascertain the pathophysiology changes.However,the autopsy rate is very low.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)provides reliable evidence for the functional-pathological mechanism of ET.The latest progress in the field of structural magnetic resonance imaging(sMRI)and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)of ET were reviewed in this paper.
