Figure 5:

Chemical shift–encoded (CSE) MRI enables simultaneous estimation of both liver fat and iron deposition. Fat-corrected R2* (R2* = 1/T2*) mapping is a natural byproduct of multi-echo CSE acquisitions used for R2*-corrected proton density fat fraction (PDFF) mapping. Shown are representative MRI scans in three patients with various fat and iron levels throughout the liver.
