MRI T2* Mapping of Myocardium, Liver, Pancreas and Pituitary Gland

All patients were investigated using a 3T MRI and 1,5 T MRI scanners. For myocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland iron overload quantification in children we have used special sequences for T2\*-mapping. Miocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland T2\* relaxometry maps were calculated automatically by commertial application ReportCARD Functool (GE Healthcare) and integrated Philips T2\* maps. Then for selected ROI T2\* data acquisition in milisecond \[ms\] were performed and calculated automatically.
