Figure 2. Iron distribution in a 5 mm liver slice of a patient with HbE/β-thalassemia (29 y, HCV+) measured in a 1.5 T imager (Philips Intera Gyroscan®, CHRCO Oakland, USA) with an average LIC of 18.6 mg/gdry wgt (Ferriscan®). The transverse relaxation R2 per volume element (voxel) and therefore the iron distribution ranges from 6.0 mg/gdry wgt (red: R2 ≥ 92 s−1) to 30.5 mg/gdry wgt (yellow: R2 ≤ 280 s−1).
