Description
Yun Hwa Roh and co-authors reply in 2026 to a critique of their study that weighed two brain scans for early Parkinson's disease. The critics raised points on image alignment, age gaps, scan timing, and the frame of the claims. The reply holds that the alignment pipeline is proven for deep brain parts. Age does not explain why the pigment scan beat the free water scan, the team argues. The scan settings meet set norms, and the findings compare the two scans without settling a final verdict.
