Detection of Liver Iron Overload in Patients With Thalassemia With Ultra-short Echo Time MR Imaging on 3.0T
3.0T UTE MRI sequences provide clinically feasible and accurate assessment of liver iron overload in thalassemia patients across a broad range of LIC values from 1.3 to 39.5 mg/g. These findings support the clinical utility of 3.0T UTE MRI for LIO detection and therapeutic decision-making in this population.
