Iron overload imaging of the upper portion of the abdomen. Axial
T2*-weighted GRE MR images (Siemens) (500/2.4–30; flip angle,
60°; bandwidth, 380 Hz/pixel; voxel size, 1.4 × 1.0 ×
6.0 mm; FOV, 400 × 400 mm) acquired with TEs of 2.4 msec (a), 5.2
msec (b), 8.0 msec (c), and 10.8 msec (d) show
progressive darkening of the liver with increasing TE, which is suggestive of iron
overload.
