Purpose To develop a fully automatic parenchyma extraction method for the T2* relaxometry
of iron overload liver. Methods A retrospective multicenter collection of liver MR …

Background Extraction of liver parenchyma is an important step in the evaluation of‐based
hepatic iron content (HIC). Traditionally, this is performed by radiologists via whole‐liver …

Purpose To improve liver mapping by incorporating adaptive neighborhood regularization
into pixel‐wise curve fitting. Methods Magnetic resonance imaging mapping remains …

Objectives The objectives of this study were to develop and test an automated segmentation
of R2* iron-overloaded liver images using fuzzy c-mean (FCM) clustering and to evaluate …

Background To estimate median liver iron concentration (LIC) calculated from magnetic
resonance imaging, excluded vessels of the liver parenchyma region were defined …

Liver R2* mapping is often degraded by the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) especially in the
presence of severe iron. This study aims to improve liver R2* mapping at low SNRs by …

Iron overload is a severe complication in patients with increased gastrointestinal absorption
of dietary iron or from chronic blood transfusions. As the body has no physiologic …

Hintergrund: Die Auswertung von MRT-Aufnahmen der Leber mittels R2*-Relaxometrie
wurde als Alternativverfahren zur R2-Spinecho Methode untersucht. Des Weiteren wurde …

Hepatic iron overload is a severe complication in patients receiving chronic blood
transfusions for sickle cell disease, beta-thalassemia, and myelosuppression during …
