The Parkinsons disease (PD) has been associated with
iron deposition in the basal ganglia and striatum.The
Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) was applied
for measurement of the susceptibility differences
between PD patients and normal controls. We investigated
the PD affected regions including the caudate nucleus,
the red nucleus, the globus pallidus, the putamen, and
the substantia nigra. We found that the regions with
significant increased susceptibility were consistent
with the PD pathology and suggested that the feasibility
of QSM as a sensitive method for the measurement of the
severity of the pathological changes underlying PD
