7.0T ultrahigh-field MRI directly visualized the pedunculopontine nucleus in Parkinson’s disease patients

CONCLUSION: Our findings provide, for the first time, direct visualization of the PPN using the MP2RAGE sequence on a 7.0T ultrahigh-field MRI, which may improve the accuracy of stereotactic targeting of the PPN and improve the outcomes in patients undergoing DBS.
