Demystifying liver iron concentration measurements with MRI

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.
