To investigate changes in T1 and T2 of deep gray matter in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients at 7T, healthy volunteers (N=104, age range 20-77) and PD patients (N=42, age range 50-72) were scanned using a 1ch-Tx/32ch-Rx coil and a Plug-and-Play MR Fingeprinting (prototype) sequence. ROIs were drawn in six regions (left and right putamen, globus pallidus, caudate head, thalamus, frontal white matter (WM)) and a linear and quadratic curve fitting was performed. T2 value of the putamen was larger in PD than the age-matched subgroup of HC, but was not significant.
