• Quantitative susceptibility mapping and oxygen extraction fraction maps indicated the cerebral pathology of abnormal iron accumulation and oxygen metabolism in Parkinson's disease. • Iron deposition is mainly in the midbrain, while altered oxygen metabolism is concentrated in the striatum and cerebellum. • The susceptibility and oxygen extraction fraction values in subcortical nuclei were associated with clinical severity.
