Brain Iron Accumulation Linked to Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Patients

Caption

R2? maps of healthy control participants and participants with Alzheimer disease. R2? maps are windowed between 10 and 50 sec21. Differences in iron concentration in basal ganglia are too small to allow visual separation between patients with Alzheimer disease and control participants, and iron levels strongly depend on anatomic structure and subject age.
