Key Points
-
Magnetic resonance imaging in iron overload assessment has become an essential tool.
-
Post processing options to establish T2* values have not been compared.
-
No differences were found on T2* of the liver or heart using 3 different techniques.
-
Availability of these methods should allow more widespread interpretation of iron overload by MRI.
