Correlation between pathology and neuromelanin MR imaging in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies

Introduction Direct correlation between neuropathological findings and postmortem neuromelanin MR imaging (NmMRI) was performed in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) to clarify the pathological background of the signal changes in normal, Parkinson’s disease (PD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) cases.
