Synopsis

Keywords: Body: Liver, Image acquisition: Quantification

MRI has been established as a powerful imaging tool to evaluate diffuse liver diseases. Liver MRI offers a comprehensive assessment of the different tissue components, providing quantitative imaging biomarkers for fat and iron quantification. Multi-echo chemical-shift encoded (MECSE) gradient echo MR sequences are now widely used for simultaneous quantification of hepatic steatosis and siderosis.In this session, the use of MECSE sequences for liver fat & iron quantification will be explained, in different clinical scenarios of diffuse liver diseases, giving some tips and tricks for the technical implementation, analysis, interpretation and clinical use of liver fat and iron MR quantification.
