We demonstrate the feasibility of an automated approach for extracting multimodal MR imaging metrics from the superior cerebellar peduncle in healthy subjects and patients with parkinsonian. We provide evidence that structural and diffusion measures of the superior cerebellar peduncle might be valuable for computer-aided diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy subtypes and for differentiating patients with progressive supranuclear palsy-parkinsonism from with those with Parkinson disease.
