Topography and cognitive impact of brain iron deposition in cerebral amyloid angiopathy: Evidence from 7T quantitative susceptibility mapping.

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the relationship between brain iron deposition in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and cognitive function.
• Utilized 7T quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to assess iron deposition in the brain.
• Investigated cortical regions for iron accumulation in individuals with cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
• Analyzed the correlation between iron deposition and cognitive function.
• Identified distinct patterns of iron accumulation in cerebral amyloid angiopathy patients.
• Found a significant correlation between increased iron deposition and vascular cognitive impairment.
