Comparison of Inline R2 MRI versus FerriScan for liver iron quantification in patients on chelation therapy for iron overload: preliminary results

Objectives MRI quantification of liver iron concentration (LIC) using R 2 or R 2 * relaxometry requires offline post-processing causing reporting delays, administrative overhead, and added costs. A prototype 3D multi-gradient-echo pulse sequence, with inline post-processing, allows immediate calcula...
