Table IV.
Best-fit values for the fat fraction are shown for models (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) in fatty liver during the course of a ferumoxides infusion. Also shown are the T2* parameters obtained from model (v). Note the system T2* should decrease considerably as the iron uptake increases in the liver while the fat fraction should remain constant
