Excerpt

Iron toxicity is key factor for tissue damage in iron-overloaded patients, with induced heart failure as the main cause of death. T2*-weighted MRI has been established as the method of choice for evaluating iron-content with strong correlation with biopsy, where T2* < 20 ms and T2* < 10 ms at 1.5T indicate iron overload and severe iron overload, respectively. Recently-introduced dual-energy CT (DECT) has the potential for evaluating iron overload without energy-dependent CT attenuation or tissue fat effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of DECT for iron mapping in in-vitro scans of calibrated iron phantoms and compare results to MRI. …
