Evaluation of a New MR Pulse Sequence to Quantify Liver Iron Concentration
Status
Completed
Conditions
Hemochromatosis
Details and patient eligibility
About
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new MR pulse sequence is accurate in determining how much iron is in the liver.
Full description
Quantification of liver iron requires liver biopsy and histological assessment. New rapid MR techniques allow determination of liver relaxation times that can be altered with increasing iron deposition. The purpose of this study is to compare the results obtained with MRI to liver biopsy and iron quantification in patients undergoing liver biopsy in the setting of hemochromatosis.
