Liver iron concentration and clinical interpretation
Liver Iron Concentration (LIC)
0
mg/g dry weight
About This Calculator
This calculator estimates liver iron concentration (LIC) using validated R2* MRI techniques. The formulas are based on published research correlating R2* relaxometry with liver biopsy iron quantification.
Clinical Applications
- • Hereditary hemochromatosis monitoring
- • Transfusion-related iron overload
- • Chelation therapy assessment
- • Non-invasive iron quantification
Technical Notes
- • Requires dedicated R2* sequence
- • Field strength specific calibration
- • Avoid areas with artifacts
- • Results in mg/g dry weight
