| Research Abstract |
We could develop a phase image analyzer for quantifying iron-containing on MR images. Then, we could achieve semi-quantification of neuromelanin in Parkinson's disease and healthy controls by using neuromelanin-sensitive MRI and separate the two groups in diagnosis. In addition, the neuromelanin-sensitive MRI could be acquired at the high-field 7 Tesla MRI in our institute.
