Assessing Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson ’s Disease by Magnetic Resonance Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Combined Voxel-Wise and Radiomic Analysis

Conclusion: Higher iron deposition was observed in the cortical and subcortical structures of the PD-MCI and PD-NC groups. The susceptibility values of vulnerable brain subregions shown significant correlation with MoCA-B and UPDRS-III. Together with the texture index, magnetic susceptibility values could provide robust performance in distinguishing PD-MCI patients from PD-NC.Eur Neurol
