파킨슨병은 진전(떨림), 경직, 서동증(행동이 느려짐), 불안정한 자세 유지 등을 주증상으로 하는 병으로 뇌에서 도파민이라는 신경전달물질이 부족하게 되어 생기는 만성질환이고, 중추신경계 퇴행성질환의 하나이며, 중뇌의 흑색질 밀집부(Substantia nigra pars compacta)의 변형을 시작으로 뇌의 부피의 감소, 알파-시누클레인(α-synuclein, αSyn)의 응집 등을 병태생리적 증상으로 갖는 질환으로 보행의 불완전, 손떨림, 강직된 행동 등을 보인다.Parkinson's disease is a chronic disease caused by a lack of a neurotransmitter called dopamine in the brain, with main symptoms such as tremor (tremor), rigidity, tremor (action slow), and maintenance of unstable posture. It is a disease with pathophysiological symptoms such as a decrease in brain volume, aggregation of α-synuclein (αSyn), etc., starting with deformation of the substantia nigra pars compacta of the midbrain Shows tremors, rigid behavior, etc.
이러한 파킨슨병의 진단과 관련하여 수행되는 검사로는 PET 검사, MRI 검사, 내과적 질환에 대한 검사 등이 있다.Examples of tests performed in connection with the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease include PET scans, MRI scans, and tests for medical diseases.
뇌 도파민 운반체 양전자 단층 촬영(dopamine transporter PET, positron emission tomography) 검사는 도파민성 세포의 손상 여부를 알 수 있는 검사로서, 뇌 도파민 운반체 양전자 단층 촬영을 하게 되면 파킨슨병 때문이 아닌 다른 원인들에 의한 파킨슨증상을 확인할 수 있다. 약물 유발성 파킨슨증후군, 혈관성 파킨슨증후군, 알츠하이머병에서 동반되는 파킨슨증상, 본태성 진전에서 동반되는 파킨슨증상의 경우 일견 파킨슨증상과 유사한 떨림 등을 보이는 경우가 있으나, 도파민성 신경세포는 정상임을 확인할 수 있다.Brain dopamine transporter PET (positron emission tomography) test is a test that can determine whether dopaminergic cells are damaged. symptoms can be identified. Drug-induced Parkinson's syndrome, vascular Parkinson's syndrome, Parkinson's symptoms accompanying Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's symptoms accompanying essential tremor sometimes show tremors similar to Parkinson's symptoms, but dopaminergic neurons are normal. there is.
파킨슨 증상을 보이는 경우에 파킨슨병과 유사한 질환들과 구분하는 것이 중요하고, 이차성 파킨슨증후군 및 비전형성 파킨슨증후군 등과 구분하기 위해서는 먼저 뇌 자기공명영상(MRI) 검사가 필요하다. 파킨슨병의 경우에는 MRI가 정상소견인 반면에 다른 질환들은 특징적인 MRI 소견을 보인다.In the case of Parkinson's symptoms, it is important to distinguish it from diseases similar to Parkinson's disease, and to distinguish it from secondary Parkinson's syndrome and atypical Parkinson's syndrome, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required first. In the case of Parkinson's disease, MRI is normal, while other diseases show characteristic MRI findings.

Tests are needed to confirm that there are no chronic diseases.
상기 파킨슨병 진단 방법들은 고가이고 진단 절차가 복잡한 문제가 있다. 또한, 파킨슨병을 앓고 있는 환자는 해마다 크게 증가하고 치료제 시장도 이에 비례하여 크게 성장하고 있지만, 정작 파킨슨병 진단 시장의 발전은 미진한 실정이다.The methods for diagnosing Parkinson's disease are expensive and have complicated diagnostic procedures. In addition, the number of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease increases year by year, and the therapeutic agent market is growing in proportion to this, but the development of the Parkinson's disease diagnosis market is still insufficient.
따라서, 파킨슨병을 그 유사질환과 구분하여 신속하고 경제적으로 진단할 수 있는 기술 및 이와 동시에 치료를 병행할 수 있는 기술에 대한 개발이 시급한 상황이다.Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology capable of rapidly and economically diagnosing Parkinson's disease by distinguishing it from its similar diseases, and a technology capable of simultaneously treating Parkinson's disease.
