New MRI method shows better brain imaging contrast for Parkinson's research, aiding future diagnosis and trials.

IXICO PLC presented research comparing two MRI techniques, magnetisation transfer gradient echo (MT-GRE) and turbo spin echo (TSE), for imaging the substantia nigra, a brain region linked to Parkinson's disease. The study found MT-GRE provides better contrast between the substantia nigra and surrounding tissue, which could improve the reliability of neuromelanin imaging as a biomarker for Parkinson's. IXICO also introduced a new simpler method to measure changes in this brain region without precise outlining. Further research will explore MT-GRE's ability to differentiate patient groups and track disease progression, supporting drug development and clinical trials.

IXICO's Parkinson's research on brain imaging contrast is presented here with Pluang's health sector market data for context. As of Oct 01, 2026 14:22 WIB, out of 100 priced health-sector US stocks, 46 rose and 48 fell. Baxter International Inc (BAX) gained 2.45% to USD 24.05 with a typical hold time of 73 days, while Heron Therapeutics Inc (HRTX) rose 2.07% to USD 0.32 despite 74% of Pluang order activity being sell orders, and Cronos Group Inc (CRON) declined 2.07% to USD 3.31 with a typical hold time of 22 days.
