[Abstract] Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, typified by resting tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. The tremor-dominant (TD) subtype of PD is characterized mainly by limb tremors, which severely impact the quality of life in advanced TD-PD patients. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have provided several non-invasive scientific methods for studying brain structure and function in TD-PD. This paper discusses the structural and functional aspects of the brain, reviewing the progress in multimodal MRI techniques such as three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging (3D-T1WI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and neuromelanin-sensitive MRI (NM-MRI) in TD-PD patients, offering new insights for future research.
