The purpose of this study was to estimate the Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in hepatic iron evaluation, compared with R2 based Liver concentration estimation (Ferriscan LIC). 7 Patients were scanned on a 1.5 T MR System using a GRE sequence and a SE sequence, for QSM and Ferriscan analysis respectively. QSM algorithm provided susceptibility values estimate. Approximate slices were selected according to the corresponding cross-section on the Ferriscan LIC report. Then ROIs were drawn on QSM images according to LIC maps. Significant positive correlation was observed between QSM and Ferriscan LIC ( R² = 0.8).
