## Abstract The possibility of using magnetic resonance (MR) to evaluate the severity of the pathological changes of Parkinson's disease (PD) is suggested by the known accumulation of iron in the basal ganglia in PD and the reduced signal evident from this area with conventional reduced signal evid

## Abstract The lentiform nucleus of five patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) was studied by quantitative magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), both before and after administration of apomorphine, and the spectra were compared with those from a group of age‐matched normal subjects.
## Abstract ## Purpose To estimate the levels of basal ganglia iron levels in Parkinson's disease (PD) using the PRIME MR sequence at 3.0 Tesla, in relation to patients' motor symptom severity. ## Materials and Methods Seventy patients with PD and 10 healthy controls underwent assessment of move
