A total of 104 Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and 269 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were scanned using 3D multi-echo gradient echo MTC sequence. In this work, a data-driven clustering approach based on iron deposition in the substantia nigra (SN) measured by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) was performed to classify the PD patients into different subtypes. The clinical assessments were compared between subtype groups. Two subtypes were found by using this clustering approach. Furthermore, there are significant differences (p-values < 0.05) on MDS-UPDRS scores between these two subtype groups.
