Figure 29. Example of patients with cancer with normal myocardial iron levels (A) and significant iron overload (B). T2* in patient A was 22.8 ms with a myocardial iron concentration (MIC) of 0.98 mg/g; in patient B, T2* was 11.9 ms with an MIC of 2.2 mg/g. More myocardial darkening is observed in patient B with increased echo time values, visually determining the highest degree of myocardial overload. Patient B was initiated on oral iron chelation therapy after myocardial overload was determined by magnetic resonance imaging.
