Increased iron in the substantia nigra pars compacta identifies patients with early Parkinson’s disease: A 3T and 7T MRI study
Degeneration in the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta (SNc) underlies motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Currently, there are no neuroimaging biomarkers that are sufficiently sensitive, specific, reproducible, and accessible for routine diagnosis or staging of PD. Although iron is essenti...
