Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might associate with the iron deficiency, but few studies reported on the correlation between brain iron level and the severity of illness. To address whether the changes of iron deposition are correlated with the cognitive function deficits in ADHD, the R2* mapping were applied in current study. The results indicated that the correlations between the R2* value and the symptom severity of ADHD were found in in brain regions within the basal ganglia region, temporal lobe and occipital lobe, which also indicated that R2* mapping might have the potential efficacy in the auxiliary diagnosis of ADHD.
