A 15-year old patient with secondary iron overload due to blood transfusion therapy. R2* with “in-house” ME-GRE sequences revealed a pathologic value of 162 s−1 (a), confirmed by qDixon (LiverLab) (b) with 169 s−1. After 2 years of chelation therapy, the values normalized to 35 s−1 (ME-GRE) (c)/32 s−1 (qDixon) (d). Further iron overload of the spleen was initially detected (R2* 102 s−1). Spleen values also decreased to a normal value under therapy (R2* 21 s−1)
