TOPIC: “MR quantification of hepatic fat and iron: how does it works in practice?”
Learning objectives:
1. To become familiar with the different acquisition techniques allowing measurement of fat and iron with MRI.
2. To learn about the limitations of different MRI quantification methods.
3. To understand the role of MRI in different clinical scenario of hepatic fat and iron overload.
In this webinar, MR imaging techniques for quantification of hepatic fat and iron will be presented, discussing the acquisition protocols as well as their main advantages and limitations. Furthermore, their role in the management of different diffuse liver diseases and overload disorders will be highlighted with clinical cases.
