Potential usefulness of signal intensity of cerebral gyri on quantitative susceptibility mapping for discriminating corticobasal degeneration from progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson ’s disease

ConclusionsThe CG findings on QSM images may be more useful than those on conventional MRI for discriminating CBD from PD on an individual basis. Based on postmortem pathological data, cortical QSM hyperintensity might be an expression of ferritin-positive microglia.
