The assessment of abnormal accumulation of tissue iron in the basal ganglia nuclei and in white matter plaques using the gradient echo magnetic resonance signal phase has become a research focus in many neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease. A common and natural approach is to calculate the mean high-pass-filtered phase of previously delineated brain structures. Unfortunately, the interpretation of such an analysis requires caution: in this paper we…

2D harmonic filtering of MR phase images in multicenter clinical setting: Toward a magnetic signature of cerebral microbleeds

Age and sex related differences in subcortical brain iron concentrations among healthy adults

A pilot, longitudinal, 24-week study to evaluate the effect of interferon beta-1a subcutaneous on changes in susceptibility-weighted imaging-filtered phase assessment of lesions and subcortical deep-gray matter in relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis

Preliminary results suggest that SWI-filtered phase may become a useful tool for monitoring RRMS disease activity, and phase lesions were reduced significantly in the RRMS group.

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Indicates a Disturbed Brain Iron Homeostasis in Neuromyelitis Optica – A Pilot Study

Investigating brain iron in patients with Neuromyelitis Optica using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), a quantitative iron-sensitive MRI technique found decreased magnetic susceptibility in the red nucleus is indicative for a lower brain iron concentration, a chemical redistribution of iron into less magnetic forms, or both.

Iron Deposition on SWI-Filtered Phase in the Subcortical Deep Gray Matter of Patients with Clinically Isolated Syndrome May Precede Structure-Specific Atrophy

Patients with CIS showed significantly increased content and volume of iron, as determined by abnormal SWI-phase measurement, in the various SDGM structures, suggesting that iron deposition may precede structure-specific atrophy.

Reduced signal intensity on MR images of thalamus and putamen in multiple sclerosis: increased iron content?

The decreased T2 in the thalamus and striatum in MS may be related to abnormally increased iron accumulation in these locales with the underlying mechanism remaining speculative.

Evaluation of Brain Iron Content Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Comparison among Phase Value, R2* and Magnitude Signal Intensity

This study indicates that phase value may not be used for assessing the iron content in some brain regions especially globus pallidus, and proposes a new method using magnitude signal intensity that is highly consistent with R2* especially in globus Pallidus.

7 T MRI reveals diffuse iron deposition in putamen and caudate nucleus in CADASIL

Ex vivo MRI demonstrates increased diffuse iron accumulation in the putamen and caudate nucleus in patients with the small vessel disease CADASIL, which supports the hypothesis that small vessels disease contributes to the process of increased iron deposition in the general population.
