Statistical comparison between CMRTools and inline T2*-maps. 32 patients with suspected iron overload were retrospectively analyzed using both methods. The classification of each patient with severe (T2* <10ms; 10 patients), mild or moderate (10ms < T2* < 20ms; 11 patients) or no iron overload (T2* > 20ms; 11 patients) group was identical for both methods. [A] shows scatter plot compating T2* values estimated using CMRTools to those obtained using inline T2*-maps. Linear Regression: slope=1.01, intercept=-0.12 and R²-0.996. [B] is a Bland-Altman plot compating T2* estimates using two methods within these patients. Dotted lines indicate 95% confidence intervals.
