Parkinson plus syndrome: diagnosis using high field MR imaging of brain iron.
Abstract
The distribution of iron in the brain was analyzed using high field strength (1.5 T) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in 14 healthy control individuals and six patients with Parkinson plus syndromes (multisystem atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy) who were unresponsive to antiparkinsonian therapy. The normal topographic distribution of iron in the brain as indicated by high field MR images coincided precisely with the distribution of iron in the brain as determined by Perls staining for ferric iron. In Parkinson plus syndromes, there were abnormally increased concentrations of iron (decreased T2 relaxation times) in the putamen, and less prominent increases in the caudate nucleus and lateral pars compacta of the substantia nigra. In high field strength MR images of normal patients, the decreased signal intensity in the globus pallidus is more prominent than that of the putamen. In MR images of patients with Parkinson plus syndromes, the decreased signal intensity of the putamen is more prominent than that of the globus pallidus.

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.
