Iron accumulation has been reported in specific brain regions of Alzheimer disease patients. In this study, we used Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping to show iron deposition in hippocampal fimbria and its strong correlation with hippocampus volume and AD stages. Our result might provide further insight of potential disconnection injury in AD pathophysiology.
