Iron deposition in Parkinson’s disease by quantitative susceptibility mapping [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2019 Background Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have elevated levels of brain iron, especially in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the iron deposition in the substantia nigra (SN) and other deep gray ...

Ex-vivo quantitative susceptibility mapping of human brain hemispheres. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ex-vivo brain quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) allows investigation of brain characteristics at essentially the same point in time as histopathologic examination, and therefore has the potential to become an important tool for determining the ...
