Abstract:
:Our aim was to assess liver iron content, in thalassaemic patients, by using three different MR protocols and compare their data. Ninety-four thalassaemic patients (44 M and 50 F, mean age 25.82 +/- 8.3 yrs), were enrolled in the study. In each patient, three measurements of the liver iron content were performed, with the use of a single imager, equipped with a 1.5 Tesla magnet. Liver R2* was measured on gradient-echo sequence. Calculation of MR-HIC values was based on an algorithm using liver to muscle (L/M) ratios in five axial gradient-echo sequences. Finally, determination of liver R2 employed a 16-echo, spin-echo pulse sequence. Additionally, myocardial R2* value was determined for each patient. Results showed that all three magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods were highly correlated to each other and significantly correlated to serum ferritin concentrations. Liver R2 method showed an increased sensitivity in detecting liver iron contents in the upper range. No correlation occurred between each liver MRI parameter and myocardial R2* values. Finally, we managed to provide formulae for equating values obtaining with any of these three MRI methods.
