Dynamic fluctuations in brain iron content during migraine attacks: insights from relaxometry and diffusion tensor imaging

Dynamic fluctuations in brain iron content during migraine attacks: insights from relaxometry and diffusion tensor imaging

BackgroundThere is evidence that iron metabolism may play a role in the underlying pathophysiological mechanism of migraine. Studies using R2∗ (=1/T2∗) relaxometry, a common MRI-based iron mapping technique, have reported increased R2∗ values in various brain structures of migraineurs, indicating ir...
