In the clinical MRI practice, it is common to assess liver iron overload by T2\* multi-echo gradient-echo images. However, there is no full consensus about the best image analysis approach for the T2\* measurements. The currently used methods involve manual drawing of a region of interest (ROI) with

## Abstract ## Objective Because the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) transverse relaxation time (T2) of cartilage is sensitive to organization of collagen fibers in the cartilage, it may be a noninvasive image marker for senescent changes in cartilage collagen and early cartilage degeneration. Th
## Abstract ## Purpose: To present a novel technique for measuring tissue enhancement in breast fibroglandular tissue regions on contrast‐enhanced breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aimed at quantifying the enhancement of breast parenchyma, also known as “background enhancement.” ## Material
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop practical methods at 3 Tesla (T) for measuring myocardial transverse relaxation in normal human myocardium. ## Materials and Methods Ten healthy volunteers were investigated with four multi‐echo, turbo spin‐echo (TSE) methods. Each method traded acquired phase e
## Abstract In response to the presence of certain compounds, rat liver weight can increase. Under the assumption that the liver density does not change, the liver volume will increase as well. To develop the capability to monitor this process noninvasively over time, we used liver volumes determin
