Accurate measurement of the liver iron concentration (LIC) is needed to guide iron-chelating therapy for patients with transfusional iron overload. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of automated quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to measure the LIC in clinical practice. We propose to incorporate In-phase echo acquisition for rapid, robust initialization of the field in water-fat separation problem (T2*-IDEAL).
