Staged algorithm for MRI examinations. The algorithm shown is used to stage MRI examinations when appropriate. Patients are first classified into either low or high risk. Low-risk patients will only receive an abdominal MRI (continue in the low-risk track) until their pancreas R2* is greater than 100 Hz. If a pancreatic R2* more than 100 Hz is measured on abdominal examination, the patient will have a complete cardiac MRI evaluation and will transition to the high-risk track. A patient in the high-risk track receives both liver and heart MRI routinely until cardiac R2* is less than 50 Hz and pancreas R2* is less than 100 Hz, when the patient will be moved into the low-risk track.
