DB-prep GRE images [A-1, B-1] and corresponding T2*-map [A-2, B-2] produced using inline analysis in two healthy volunteers. The contours of these images mark septal regions from which the average T2* value was estimated. The average T2* value within septal regions were 29.8 ± 4.0 ms and 27.2 ± 3.3 ms for these two subjects, which are significantly above T2* < 20ms range indicating cardiac iron overload.
