One example of T2*-weighted source images of the first three echoes and their resulting T2* maps in a patient with normal heart and severe hepatic iron overload. Images were acquired using breath-hold MGRE (a) and free-breathing GRE-EPI approaches (b) Both techniques failed to provide T2* quantification in the liver. (c) Curves of mean signal intensity within the ROI in the liver (red circle in a and b) vs. echo times, showing that the signal is below the noise level even in the image from the earliest echo
