Background Microstructural changes in deep gray matter (DGM) nuclei are related to
physiological behavior, cognition, and memory. Therefore, it is critical to study age …

Quantification of tissue magnetic susceptibility using MRI offers a non-invasive measure of
important tissue components in the brain, such as iron and myelin, potentially providing …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of resolution on iron content using quantitative susceptibility
map** (QSM); to verify the consistency of QSM across field strengths and manufacturers in …

Iron-rich deep brain nuclei (DBN) of the human brain are involved in various motoric,
emotional and cognitive brain functions. The abnormal iron alterations in the DBN are …

Understanding cerebellar alterations due to healthy aging provides a reference point
against which pathological findings in late-onset disease, for example spinocerebellar …

Purpose The dentate nucleus (DN) is the largest, most lateral, and phylogenetically most
recent of the deep cerebellar nuclei. Its pivotal role encompasses the planning, initiation …

The advent of susceptibility‐sensitive MRI techniques, such as susceptibility weighted
imaging (SWI), has enabled accurate in vivo visualization and quantification of iron …

The non-invasive quantification of iron stores via Quantitative Susceptibility Map** (QSM)
could play an important role in the diagnosis and the differential diagnosis of atypical …

The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is a small brainstem structure and has attracted
attention as a potentially effective deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for the treatment of …

The visualization and identification of the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN)(dentate [DN],
interposed [IN] and fastigial nuclei [FN]) are particularly challenging. We aimed to visualize …
