## Background Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) and T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a means to measure myocardial area at risk (AAR) and salvage. Several T2-weighted CMR sequences are in use, but there is no consensus in terms of which sequence to be the preferred. Ther
## Abstract ## Purpose To assess the tissue iron concentration of the left ventricle (LV) using a multislice, multiecho T2\* MR technique and a segmental analysis. ## Materials and Methods T2\* multiecho MRI was performed in 53 thalassemia major patients. Three shortβaxis views of the LV were ob
