Abstract
This Editorial comment refers to the article: Non-invasive measurement of liver iron concentration using 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging: validation against biopsy. D'Assignies G, et al. Eur Radiol Nov 2017.
Key Points
• MRI is a widely accepted reliable tool to determine liver iron concentration.
• MRI cannot measure iron directly, it needs calibration.
• Calibration curves for 3.0T are rare in the literature.
• The study by d'Assignies et al. provides valuable information on this topic.
• Evaluation of liver iron overload should no longer be restricted to experts.
