A Practical Approach for a Wide Range of Liver Iron Quantitation Using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technique
Figure 1
Results of curve fit from a patient with long values by dual acquisition method. (a). Data was acquired by the long TE protocol. (b) the same patient data was acquired by the short TE protocol. It is obvious for this case that the fit error is increasing with shorter TE coverage. The long TE data acquisition is necessary for mild iron load patient.
