We analyzed the results of transcranial sonography (TCS) on 110 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, 30 essential tremor (ET) patients and 110 controls in a Chinese population and compared our findings to the previous literatures.

If the high echo signal intensity (grade III, IV or V) was detected in either side of SN, it was measured as well as the whole area of midbrain and the ratio of both sides of SN hyperechogenicity to the whole area of midbrain (S/M) were calculated.
