A Practical Approach for a Wide Range of Liver Iron Quantitation Using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technique
Figure 4
An example of curve fit from a liver steatosis patient with short values and by dual acquisition method. (a) Data was acquired by the long TE protocol. The water and fat peaks were totally missed because data was sampled too slowly. (b) The same patient data was acquired by the short TE protocol with faster sample (shorter ΔTE). Water and fat peaks were caught and data was fitted with water and fat components. Again data acquired by the short TE protocol generated better fit for short case.
