Parkinson’s disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder, is associated with iron deposition in the substantial nigra (SN) of both human and animal models. SN iron is a potential biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring PD. The aim of this study was to compare QSM and R2* for quantifying SN iron in mouse brain.
