Evaluation of abnormal iron distribution in specific regions in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease using quantitative susceptibility mapping and R2* mapping

Abstract excerpt

The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate abnormal iron distribution in specific regions of the brains in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping, and to compare the diagnostic performances of QSM and R2* mapping in differentiating patients with PD with that in normal controls. A total of 25 patients with idiopathic PD and 28 sex‑and...
