Synopsis

Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) showed increased iron deposition in the substantia nigra, red nucleus, dentate nucleus and globus pallidus compared with healthy controls. Besides, the T1 value, T2* value and R2* value of deep nucleus also altered in PD patients. Which suggested the STrategically Acquired Gradient Echo (STAGE) imaging could provide a good performance in quantitative analysis in multi-modal parameters.
