Fig. 1. A 51-year-old male patient referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with clinical suspicion of iron storage disorder. On the in-phase image (A), a slightly increased signal intensity of the liver can be observed compared to that of the spleen. Opposed-phase imaging (B) reveals a distinct signal drop in the liver parenchyma. Quantification using chemical-shift encoded MRI (C) demonstrates a proton density fat fraction of approximately 17%, consistent with mild steatosis, but with no significant iron deposition (R2* below 70 s-1). ROI = region of interest, std = standard deviation.
