Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
For patients with cMRT the midbrain diameter and the midbrain to pons ratio will be acquired.<br><br>For patients with OCT the thickness of retinal layers will be accessed.<br><br>For patients with tau-PET the regional signal in defined target regions (midbrain, globus pallidus, nucleus dentatus, frontal cortex) will be quantified.<br><br>The quantification will be performed retrospectively and linked to the acqusition date. Specific software will be used for quantification (i.e. PMOD Technologies, Basel, Switzerland).<br><br>The primary endpoint consists in correlation of cMRI, OCT, and tau-PET quantification with disease severity for patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quantification of cMRI, OCT, and tau-PET will be compared between patients with probable and possible Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, patients with probable tau-negative Parkinsonian syndrome and healthy controls.
