Currently, serum ferritin concentration is the best noninvasive estimator of liver iron content. This study investigated the ability of magnetic resonance imaging to determine hepatic iron concentration. Fisher rats were treated with either parenteral iron to increase levels or phlebotomy to lower t

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 Hepatic steatosis is characterized by abnormal and excessive accumulation of lipids within hepatocytes. It is an important feature of diffuse liver disease, and the histological hallmark of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Other conditions associated with steatosis include alco
