1 MR Detection of Brain Iron Lara. Thomas, 1 Orest B. Boyko, 1 ' 2 Doglas C. Anthony, 2 and Peter C. Brger 2 PURPOSE: To provide frther qantitative stdies concerning the relationship with age between regional brain iron and T2 shortening. METHODS: a) Qantitative T2 calclations of eight anatomic regions (red ncles, sbstantia nigra, dentate ncles, corps callosm, cadate, ptamen, temporal lobe white matter, and frontal lobe white matter) from T2-weighted spin-echo images were performed in 6 patients aged newborn to 35 years. b) Qantitative brain iron concentrations were obtained in six of the eight anatomic regions (red ncles, sbstantia nigra, dentate ncles, corps callosm, cada, and ptamen) sing 13 atopsied brains (newborn to 78 years). Brain tisse from these six regions was digested with.6 HCI-2.5% wt/ vol KMn 4 for 2 hors at 6 C. After centrifgation,.1 ml of an iron-chelating reagent (2 moi/l ascorbic acid, 5 moi/l ammonim acetate, 6.5 nmoi/l ferrozine, 13.1 mmoi/l neocprine) was added and the absorbance was measred at 562 nm/l and compared with a standard crve with ferric chloride. c) The in vivo iron concentrations in tisse that were obtained were reprodced in for test tbe phantom stdies with ferric ammonim slfate or ferros ammonim slfate dissolved in either deionized water or 5% agarose. T2 calclations of the phantoms were made with a single-section mltiple repetition time, mltiple echo time acqisition. RESULTS: a) Clinical T2 calclationsall eight anatomic regions showed a decrease with age in T2 vale, beginning shortly after birth. Dring the first three decades, the T2 shortening was most significant in the region of sbstantia nigra. b) Qantitative brain iron-five anatomic regions bt not the corps callosm demonstrated an age-related increase in brain iron ( nmol/ g for the red ncles verss nmol/g for the corps callosm). c) T2 effect of iron in vitro--both the ferric and ferros iron phantoms showed a decreased T2 vale in the in vivo concentration range of iron obtained from the postmortem stdies. The T2 shortening was most marked for the ferric phantoms. COCLUSIO: There is an age-related accmlation of iron in five regions of the brain, correlating with an associated decrease in T2 vale that can be demonstrated in iron phantoms. Brain iron appears to contribte to the progressive decrease of T2 signal that occrs with aging.

Sbseqent stdies have challenged this conclsion (5, 6), one investigation sggesting that T2 signal intensity and the concentrations of iron are not closely related (6). This stdy was ndertaken in an attempt to investigate this isse by determining: a) the in vivo regional change in T2 vale with age on MR scans of healthy patients; b) the iron concentration in these same anatomic regions as a fnction of age in postmortem stdies; and c) the concentration of iron that was determined in the postmortem stdies and whether it is of sfficient magnitde to alter the T2 signal in aqeos soltion and agarose gels. 143

C, A 17-year-old patient demonstrates frther conspicos T2 shortening in the R and S (28/8). These areas are isointense to areas of T2 shortening, sch as the temporal lobe white matter and the anterior commissre (arrows). D, A 48-year-old patient demonstrates frther dark signal in the R and S (28/ 8). D Methods Clinical scans MR proton images in 6 patients withot any mass lesions by spin-echo plse seqence were randomly selected. Ages ranged from newborn to 85 years. Patients were exclded from the stdy if there was a gross radiographic abnormality sch as tmor, hemorrhage, or postsrgical changes. Qantitative T2 calclations were made from operator-selected regions of interest with standard software (GE ::>igna Image Analysis fnctions) with an iterative x 2 minimization program. T2 vales were obtained by the se of the first and second echoes from a dal-echo acqisition. On three scans, images throgh the basal ganglia were not archived and T2 vales for the cadate (CA) or ptamen were not available. In pediatric brains, sing the standard adlt 2-cm field-of-view generated images where the crsor size was occasionally larger than the: region of interest (for example, the red ncles [R] and sbstantia nigra [S]), we centered the crsor over the region of interest to minimize overlap. Eight anatomical regions (R, S, dentate ncles [D], corps callosm, CA, PM, and bilaterally, temporal lobe white matter) and frontal lobe white matter were stdied. Initially, the globs pallids was stdied also, bt becase of the heterogenos anatomic organization with gray matter, the presence of white matter, and blood vessels with freqently enlarged perivasclar spaces, we cold not obtain intrapatient T2 vales that were as reprodcible as were those for other regions. The globs pallids was, therefore, not inclded in the regions stdied. Images were obtained with a 1.5-T GE Signa system, T2-weighted spin-echo plse seqence (27-32/3, 8/1 (repetition time/echo time/excitations) acqisition matrix 256 X 256) to prodce 5-mm sections with a 2.5-mm intersection gap in the axial plane. The data was plotted with graphics software (Cricket Graph; Cricket Software). Measrement of brain iron Samples from 13 formalin-fixed brains were obtained from the Atopsy Service of the Dke University Medical Center. Brains had been fixed in 2% formalin for 2 to 4 weeks. Brains were exclded from selection if there was any intracranial abnormality at the time of atopsy or if a nerologic disease had been noted dring life. Tisse samples,.1 to 1. g, from six anatomic regions (R, S, D, corps callosm, CA, ptamen) were homogenized in 1 ml of distilled water, and 1.-ml aliqots were digested (7) in triplicate with.6 HCI-2.25 % wt/vol KMn 4 for 2 hors at 6 C in a water bath. The samples were stabilized at room temperatre for 3 mintes and then centrifged at 12, X g for 5 mintes.

Relationship between iron concentration (e. ferros ion; D., ferric ion) and T2 signal in iron-containing soltions (a) and in iron-containing agarose phantoms (b). An increase of ferros and ferric ion concentration within the physiologic range depresses the T2 signal. (In water, 1 mmol/ L corresponds to 1 nmol/g.) phantoms were acqired with a 15-mm single section, mlti-tr (32, 16, 8, 4, 2 milliseconds) and mlti-te (2, 4, 6, 8 milliseconds) spin-echo acqisition at 256 X 192, 1 signal averaged, 22-cm field of view. Qantitative T2 vales were obtained at three different image levels along the tbes, again with the GE software image analysis package, and all measrements were done in dplicate. The final plotted T2 calclation was the average of the six determinations. Reslts Clinical scans All eight anatomic regions showed a decrease with age in T2 vale on clinical MR scans (Figs. 1 throgh 3). This decrease began shortly after birth and contined throgh the first three decades in iron-containing gray-matter strctres or over the first 2 years in white matter. There was a sggestion of a gradal decrease in T2 throghot the sbseqent decades in iron-containing gray-matter strctres only. There was considerable overlap in some regions between patients. In all ages over 6 months, the T2 signal was shortest in the region of the S, followed in trn by the R, D, ptamen, and CA ncles. Measrement of brain iron All six anatomic regions, with the exception of the corps callosm, showed an increase in brain iron with age (Fig. 2). This increase was detected as early as 6 months and rose rapidly with a flattening of the crves thereafter. The mean amont of iron in patients over 4 (mean age, 67.5 years), was in nmol/g of tisse, for the R, 144. for the S, for the ptamen, 185. for the D, for theca ncles and for the corps callosm. The level of iron was lowest in the corps callosm and was independent of age (Fig. 3c). T2 effect of iron in vitro The in vitro effect on T2 vales of iron in phantoms in the concentration range obtained from the postmortem work was determined (Fig. 4). The effect of increasing the concentration of ferric and ferros ions on the T2 vale in aqeos soltions is shown in Figre 4a. The presence of ferric and ferros ions in soltion decreased the T2 nmber, with the T2 shortened by 5% at 2 mmol/l ferros ammonim slfate and by more than 9% at the same concentration of ferric ions. The effect was especially prononced for the ferric soltion. The relationship between iron concentration and T2 vale in agarose phantoms is shown in Figre 4b. Althogh the magnitde of T2 shortening is less than in the aqeos soltion, the presence of either ferric or ferros ions clearly demonstrated shortened T2 relaxation. Discssion The in vivo experiments presented here recorded a fall with age in the T2 vale in all five gray matter and three white matter strctres stdied, as has been noted daily in clinical practice and as has been docmented in previos systematic stdies (1). By stdying scans of living patients, we fond it possible to accmlate a large nmber of vales for T2 in nondiseased tisse. The T2 shortening began shortly after birth and contined dring life, althogh the majority of the change had occrred by the end of the third decade. Becase these same areas are those that are deeply and progressively stained by the Perl method (3, 8-14), it seems reasonable to conclde that the amont of iron and the T2 change are related. This relationship is spported by the well-recognized ability of MR to detect hemosiderin arond chronic hemorrhagic foci (15-17). If the progressive shortening of the T2 signal is related to local iron concentration, then one shold be able to docment a relationship between the magnitde of T2 shortening and the regional concentration of iron. This stdy records sch a relationship with the age-dependent accmlation of iron coinciding with the rate of change of T2 signal. Similar reslts were reported by Hallgren and Sorander (1, 1, 12, 18). Despite these concrrent changes in iron concentration and T2 signal, Chen et a! (6) have sggested that, althogh iron in pathologic states sch as arond hemorrhages can affect T2 relax-

We therefore imaged iron-containing soltions and agarose phantoms to determine whether the presence of iron in the physiologic concentration range is associated with a change in T2 signal intensity and vale. In aqeos soltions, increasing the concentration of both ferros and ferric ions showed a profond effect on T2, an effect mch greater than the change in T2 signal with age in normal patients. The crves of qantified brain iron by patient age were ths largely the inverse of the crves tracing the progressive decrease in in vivo T2 shortening with age. Becase T2 is so mch longer in aqeos soltion (5 milliseconds) than in the brain (7 milliseconds), we also stdied the effect of iron in agarose phantoms. These revealed mch lower T2 vales and a less dramatic decline in T2 with increasing iron concentration, bt one more comparable to the vales seen in patients. evertheless, both ferros and ferric irons led to a progressive decline in T2. Wismer et al (19) have demonstrated a similar effect of Fe34 on T2 in agar. Given the concrrent changes in iron and in T2 vales that occr with age and the similar effects of eqivalent concentrations of iron in vitro, it seems likely that the incremental accmlation of iron in certain gray matter strctres acconts for the progressive decrease in T2 relaxation time. We do not, however, sggest that all strctres with a low T2 nmber are rich in iron. Clearly, compact white matter pathways sch as the corps callosm, fornix, and anterior commissre have a short T2 signal that becomes progressively lower with the deposition and matration of the myelin (2, 21), bt not with the accmlation of iron. However, myelination occrs predominantly before the age of two and or data (Fig. 3) spport that T2 shortening in white matter does occr in a time frame similar to that for regions containing iron. After this age, however, T2 vales are relatively constant in white matter. Ths, it appears that the completion of myelination leads to constant T2 vales in white matter. In contrast, T2 vales contine to decrease in gray matter strctres, even after myelination has been completed, and in the same time frame as iron accmlation. Both or present qantitative stdy and or past investigations sing the Perl method for iron have shown a very low iron concentration in these heavily myelinated areas (21). This effect of mye- lin on T2 is independent of iron and may help to explain why Chen et al (6) failed to find a relationship between T2 shortening and iron concentrations when both white and gray matter strctres are considered together. When only gray matter strctres are analyzed, their data (6) do demonstrate a dramatic relationship between iron and T2 vales. This also has been conclded by another athor (4). It has been sggested that if only gray matter strctres are considered, the relationship between iron and T2 signal can be identified bt is less dramatic (4). Or reslts lead s to concr with the latter conclsion. We extend the work by Chen et al (6) by having done qantitative assessment in iron-containing anatomic regions beyond the basal ganglia and especially in ones that contain no significant amont of myelin (ie, S). In light of the low T2 nmbers of compact white matter fiber pathways, it is appropriate to ask whether myelin cold contribte to the low T2 signal in certain gray matter strctres. Myelinated bndles are prominent, for example, in the basal ganglia and R. It is of interest, therefore, that althogh or qantitative data show that both the S and R have similar amonts of iron, the latter strctre is darker on the T2- weighted image. Ths, myelin may contribte to the T2 shortening of certain gray matter strctres bt cannot accont for the progressive T2 shortening with age in the S, which contains little myelin. One limitation in or stdy is the difficlty in anatomically positioning the crsor in measring the T2 of the S and eliminating contamination of the nearby cerebral pedncle, which is myelinated and has T2 shortening. Or work leads s to conclde that there is an age-related accmlation of iron in five regions of the brain (R, S, D, CA, ptamen), correlating with an associated decrease in T2 vale from clinical scans, which can be also demonstrated in iron-containing phantoms. Brain iron appears to contribte to the progressive decrease of T2 signal that occrs with aging in these ironcontaining regions of the brain. References 1.
