Fig. 6From: Role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in liver iron quantification in thalassemic (thalassemia major) patientsT2* images representing a normal (upper row) and severely iron-overloaded liver (lower row). In the normal liver, the signal intensity does not change significantly as the echo times (TEs) increase. In comparison, a severely overloaded liver is dark even at TE of 1.3 ms and completely black in the subsequent TEsBack to article page
