Figure 3. Mid-papillary short axis slice at an echo time of 7.5 ms in a patient with b-thalassemia major (30 y) for assessing the signal intensities in the septum (Roi-1) (single-breathhold multi-echo method TE = 1.9 - 22 ms: 1.5 T Siemens Magnetom Symphony®, UKE Hamburg). The subsequent exponential fit yields a short relaxation time T2* = 1000/R2* = 3.7 ms, while the liver iron concentration in this patient is relatively low LIC (BLS) = 1090 ± 114 μg/gliver.
