Excerpt

The measurement of T2* has been established as a rapid, reproducible non-invasive method for assessing iron loading in the heart and liver. For the heart, two CMR sequences are used routinely. The first is a 'bright-blood' multi-echo, single breath-hold acquisition in early systole. The second 'dark-blood' sequence is acquired in late diastole with a double inversion-recovery pre-pulse to null the blood pool giving enhanced blood/myocardial delineation. The long breath-hold times (up to 20 seconds) can be difficult for some patients, resulting in impaired image quaility. …
