Nigrosome-1
region that is affected to the loss of dopaminergic neurons is one of the
important characteristics of Parkinson’s disease (PD). To evaluate the early
stage of PD and investigate the main mechanisms of nigrosome degeneration using
MR images, the susceptibility based MRI techniques were performed: R2* (=1/T2*)
map, SWI and QSM map in seven elderly healthy subjects that are reference
subjects for PD.
