Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and its
prevalence has been projected to double over the next 30 years. An accurate diagnosis of …

Iron has been increasingly implicated in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. In
the past decade, development of the new magnetic resonance imaging technique …

Parkinson disease is characterized by dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra of the
midbrain. There are various imaging markers for Parkinson disease. Recent advances in …

Magnetic susceptibility describes the magnetizability of a material to an applied magnetic
field and represents an important parameter in the field of MRI. With the recently introduced …

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has enabled magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
of tissue magnetic susceptibility to advance from simple qualitative detection of hypointense …

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has been used to study susceptibility changes
that may occur based on tissue composition and mineral deposition. Iron is a primary …

Background Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* relaxation rate mapping
have demonstrated increased iron deposition in the substantia nigra of patients with …

Brain iron levels in patients of Parkinson's disease (PD) are usually measured in
postmortem samples or by MRI imaging including R2* and SWI. In this study we performed a …
