Abstract
Accurate quantification of liver iron concentration (LIC) can be achieved via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Maps of liver T2*/R2* are provided by commercially available, vendor-provided, 3-dimensional (3D) multiecho Dixon sequences and allow automated, inline postprocessing, which removes the need for manual curve fitting associated with conventional 2-dimensional (2D) gradient echo (GRE)-based postprocessing. The main goal of our study was to investigate the relationship among LIC estimates generated by 3D multiecho Dixon sequence to values generated by 2D GRE-based R2* relaxometry as the reference standard.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography is to showcase the latest clinical and research developments in CT, MR, and closely related diagnostic techniques. We encourage submission of both original research and review articles that have immediate or promissory clinical applications. Topics of special interest include: 1) functional MR and CT of the brain and body; 2) advanced/innovative MRI techniques (diffusion, perfusion, rapid scanning); and 3) advanced/innovative CT techniques (perfusion, multi-energy, dose-reduction, and processing).
