2a Comparison of CNR of SNpc and LC between groups. The CNR of each part of the SN and the LC decreased successively in healthy controls, early PD patients, and progressive PD patients (p < 0.05). 2b Comparisons of CNR of bilateral SNpc and LC between groups. The CNR of the left side (dominant side) of the LC was significantly higher than that of the right side of the LC (p < 0.05), whereas this was only shown in the SNpc of healthy subjects and progressive PD patients, but not in early PD patients
