Objective: To serially quantify changes of iron concentration within hematomas in the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) pig model using non-invasive R2* and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI methods. Introduction: Hemolysis-related release of hemoglobin/heme/free iron after ICH causes cytotoxic injury. An accurate post hemorrhage assessment of iron would be valuable to develop strategies to prevent secondary damage. The T2* relaxation rate (R2* =1/T2*) on MRI depends on the regional oxy- versus deoxyhemoglobin. Post-ICH excess of deoxyhemoglobin has been applied as a quantitative marker to estimate iron in the brain. However, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new MRI technique that can quantify iron concentration within the hematoma by measuring induced magnetic susceptibility. Using R2* mapping and QSM in a large animal ICH model, we measured spatiotemporal changes in iron concentration in the brain. Methods: Lobar ICH was induced by infusion of 2.5 ml autologous blood in 8 Yorkshire pigs with average age/wt of 4-6wk/12.5±2.5kg. MRI was obtained at days 1 and 7. A 3D anatomical and multi-echo gradient echo images were obtained on a clinical 3.0 T Philips Ingenia MRI system. Parametric R2* and susceptibility maps were generated. Regions of interest were placed within hematoma and contralesional CSF. Results: R2* measurements in the hematoma at day 1 and day 7 were 41.3 ± 7.3 and 37.7 ± 7.7 s -1 , respectively, whereas the corresponding susceptibility measurements were 0.75± 0.3 and 0.70 ± 0.5 ppm. The CSF R2* were 5.53 ± 2.1 and 6.85 ± 2.4 s -1 , whereas susceptibility showed 0.06 ± 0.16 and 0.02 ± 0.03 ppm at the two time points. Both R2* and QSM showed no significant change in iron concentration within the hematoma ROI with p-value of 0.18 and 0.72 over a week. Absence of hyperintense regions remote from the hematoma in susceptibility maps suggested lack of diffuse iron deposition. Good correlation was observed between R2* and QSM (correlation coefficient 0.83 and 0.78 within hematoma, and -0.66 and -0.07 within CSF, at day 1 and 7, respectively). Conclusion: R2* and especially QSM, with their ability to provide quantitative iron content, are valuable tools to test new ICH treatments particularly targeting iron in this large animal model.

Iron has been increasingly implicated in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. In the past decade, development of the new magnetic resonance imaging technique, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), has enabled for the more comprehensive investigation of iron distribution in the brain. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a synthesis of the findings from existing QSM studies in neurodegenerative diseases. We identified 80 records by searching MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and PsycInfo databases. The disorders investigated in these studies included Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Wilson's disease, Huntington's disease, Friedreich's ataxia, spinocerebellar ataxia, Fabry disease, myotonic dystrophy, pantothenate-kinase-associated neurodegeneration, and mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration. As a general pattern, QSM revealed increased magnetic susceptibility (suggestive of increased iron content) in the brain regions associated with the pathology of each disorder, such as the amygdala and caudate nucleus in Alzheimer's disease, the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease, motor cortex in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, basal ganglia in Huntington's disease, and cerebellar dentate nucleus in Friedreich's ataxia. Furthermore, the increased magnetic susceptibility correlated with disease duration and severity of clinical features in some disorders. Although the number of studies is still limited in most of the neurodegenerative diseases, the existing evidence suggests that QSM can be a promising tool in the investigation of neurodegeneration.

Background The previous documents demonstrated that iron deposition was identified in brain deep nuclei and periaqueductal gray matter region in chronic migraine (CM), and less is known about the cerebral iron deposition in CM. The aim of this study is to investigate the cerebral iron deposition in CM using an advanced voxel-based quantitative susceptibility mapping. Methods A multi-echo gradient echo MR sequence was obtained from 14 CM patients and 28 normal controls (NC), and quantitative susceptibility mapping images were reconstructed and voxel-based analysis was performed over the whole cerebrum. The susceptibility value of all the positive brain regions was extracted and correlation was calculated between the susceptibility value and the clinical variables. Results The brain regions with increased susceptibility value in CM patients located in right precuneus, insula, supramarginal gyrus, dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, postcentral gyrus, cuneus and left postcentral gyrus compared with NC. The correlation analysis demonstrated that a positive correlation was identified between susceptibility value of all the positive brain regions and VAS score. Conclusion The current study demonstrated increased cerebral iron deposition presented in chronic patients, which suggested that increased cerebral iron deposition might play a role in the migraine chronicization.
