| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied 16 Alzheimer disease (AD) patients, 14 dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients and 16 age- matched healthy controls (HC) using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). The mean susceptibility values (MSVs) of the bilateral substantia nigra (SN), red nucleus (RN), caudate nucleus (CN), globus pallidus (GP), putamen (PT), substantia nigra (SN), hand motor area of precentral gyrus (PG), precuneus (PrCn) and cuneus (Cun) were measured on QSM images. Measurement differences were statistically assessed. The MSV of the SN was highest for AD, followed by DLB and HC, but no significant difference was observed. In the PrCn the MSV tended to be higher for AD and DLB than HC, but no significant difference was observed. There were no significant differences among the 3 groups in other structures. QSM might be useful for evaluating dementia patients. Further investigation with large population is needed to clarify the clinical role of QSM.
