Non-invasive methods for liver fibrosis prediction in hemochromatosis: One step beyond

Figure 1 Non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis in hereditary hemochromatosis in 2010. MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; LIC: liver iron concentration; AST: aspartate aminotransferase.

Figure 2 Quantification of liver iron concentration using magnetic resonance imaging. A: Hereditary hemochromatosis. Liver iron overload: Important reduction in signal intensity from the liver; B: Prolonged treatment with phlebotomies. Liver signal intensity is normal; C: Secondary hemochromatosis. Reduction in signal intensity in the liver and the spleen.
