| Acquisition |
Analysis |
| Liver T2* measurement from multiecho gradient echo acquisition in an abdominal transverse plane |
Measure of total body iron |
| Sagittal in-plane velocity-encoded cine through the descending thoracic aorta |
Measure of iron stores |
| 3D carotid time of flight scan (TOF) |
Localize sections through CCA, proximal ICA and mid ICA |
| Carotid artery wall T2* measurement |
Prescribed at 3 carotid locations on right and 3 locations on left defined from TOF |
| High temporal resolution cine through bilateral common carotid arteries |
Carotid artery distensibility |
| 3D noncontrast T1W-TSE carotid MRA |
Vessel wall volume measurement |
NOTES: CCA=common carotid artery, ICA=internal carotid artery, T1W-TSE=T1-
weighted turbo spin echo, MRA=magnetic resonance angiogram
