Are cardiac R2* values dependent on the image analysis approach employed?
Background CMR R2* is the gold standard for monitoring cardiac iron overload in patients with hemoglobinopathies. The R2* value is obtained by fitting the signal at different echo times (TEs) to an appropriate decay model. Patients with heavy cardiac iron burden (R2*>100 Hz) exhibit rapid signal, leading to a plateau in the later images. Two approaches have been used to address this. The first ...
