The purpose of this study was to compare small and ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIO and USPIO, respectively) as MR contrast agents for the evaluation of focal hepatic disease. In two different patient groups (SPIO [n = 53], USPIO [n = 27]), with focal liver disease (metastases
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the correlation between the degree of hepatic, splenic, pancreatic, vertebral bone marrow (VBM), and myocardial siderosis, as expressed by relaxation rate (R2 = 1/T2) values, in patients with thalassemia. ## Materials and Methods R2 relaxation rate values of
