A patient with progressive supranuclear palsy demonstrated a region-specific decrease in T2 signal during high-field-strength brain magnetic resonance imaging. At autopsy the T2-signal hypointensity was found to correspond topographically to increased deposition of ferric iron. The potential clinical, radiologic, and pathophysiologic implications of these findings are discussed.
一名进行性核上性麻痹患者在高场强脑磁共振成像期间显示出T2信号的区域特异性降低。尸检时发现T2信号低强度在地形上与三价铁沉积增加相对应。讨论了这些发现潜在的临床、放射学和病理生理学意义。
