MRI measurement of brain iron in patients with restless legs syndrome
Abstract
Brain iron insufficiency in the restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been suggested by a prior CSF study. Using a special MRI measurement (R2'), the authors assessed regional brain iron concentrations in 10 subjects (five with RLS, five controls). R2' was significantly decreased in the substantia nigra, and somewhat less significantly in the putamen, both in proportion to RLS severity. The results show the potential utility of this MRI measurement, and also indicate that brain iron insufficiency may occur in patients with RLS in some brain regions.

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.
