Liver iron content determination by magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 1 Plot of transverse relaxivity R2 (1/T2) vs biopsy-measured LIC in 20 patients (22 biopsies). R value was 0.98, and dotted lines indicate 95% prediction intervals for the regression. Average R2 value for 13 healthy controls is shown by “o”, plotted using an LIC value estimated from normative data (no biopsy) (reproduced with permission from[30]).
