Quantification paramagnetic ions in postmortem brain using Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and its correlation with R2 and R2* maps. Fe+3 and Cu+2 paramagnetic ions are found in regions with considerable increased R2 and R2* values. The determination of the influence from paramagnetic ions can help understanding the origins of changed R2 and R2* values in the basal ganglia.
