Assessment of relative brain iron concentrations using T2‐weighted and T2*‐weighted MRI at 3 Tesla

Abstract

In this paper a new method is presented for the relative assessment of brain iron concentrations based on the evaluation of T 2 and T 2* ‐weighted images. A multiecho sequence is employed for rapid measurement of T 2 and T 2*, enabling calculation of the line broadening effect ( T 2′). Several groups have failed to show a correlation between T 2 and brain iron content. However, quantification of T 2′, and the associated relaxation rate R 2′, may provide a more specific relative measure of brain iron concentration. This may find application in the study of brain diseases, which cause associated changes in brain iron levels. A new method of field inhomogeneity correction is presented that allows the separation of global and local field inhomogeneities, leading to more accurate T 2* measurements and hence, T 2′ values. The combination of T 2*, and T 2‐weighted MRI methods enables the differentiation of Parlkinson's disease patients from normal age‐matched controls based on differences in iron content within the substantia nigra.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
