Table 2.

Agreement on R2* iron level and fat fraction, between conventional MRI and IDEAL, as well as between readers

ICC Lower 95%CI Upper 95%CI
Between conventional MRI and IDEAL
 R2* Iron level, Reader1 0.253 −0.025 0.494
 R2* Iron level, Reader2 0.291 0.016 0.524
 Fat fraction, Reader1 0.026 −0.252 0.300
 Fat fraction, Reader2 0.028 −0.249 0.302
Between readers
 IDEAL R2* iron 0.971 0.950 0.984
 IDEAL fat fraction 0.957 0.925 0.975
 Conventional fat fraction 0.626 0.422 0.770

Agreement on R2* iron level and fat fraction between conventional MRI and IDEAL was poor. Using IDEAL, the agreement was high between readers on both R2* iron level and fat fraction. On conventional MRI, the reader agreement was moderate on fat fraction
