Figure 1. Total cerebellar volumes as determined by serial ROI assessment of 3D-T1w axial slices and
normalised to total intra-cranial volume. The plot shows individual subject data points and mean cerebellar
volumes + standard deviation of the mean for patients and controls. There was a significant difference between
the two groups (p<0.001, unpaired t-test). Intra-rater reliability had a coefficient of variation of 3.6% as
determined from repeated measurements made on one dataset on three separate occasions each spaced 7 days
apart.

Outlined in red are corresponding lateral aspects of the right dentate nuclei, with iron deposition and cavitation
seen in the patient. Bottom row: smoothed grey matter segmented slices through the same region showing that
the dentate nucleus in the patient is in a region with increased signal intensity.

Outlined in red are corresponding lateral aspects of the right dentate nuclei, with iron deposition and cavitation
seen in the patient. Bottom row: quantitative T2 maps through the same region following smoothing which show
that the dentate nucleus in the patient is in a region with similar intensity to the control.

Table 3. Clinical neuroradiology assessment of the dentate nucleus and globus pallidus internus of raw T1w and T2w images of patients and controls. Clinical interpretation of relative T1w hyperintensity and hypointensity consistent with iron deposition and cavitation respectively, were recorded for both regions in patients and controls. T2w hypointensity and hyperintensity consistent with iron deposition and cavitation respectively were recorded in patients only due to a lack of T2w images for controls.
