R2* derived liver iron concentration (LIC) measurements from proton density fat fraction (PDFF) data obtained in patients with normal LIC levels may be useful. Here we present data from the Revita-2 trial demonstrating strong significant positive correlations between baseline liver fat fraction (FF) and LIC. Significant and stronger correlations between relative % change in liver FF and LIC in the treatment arms of the trial raise the possibility of treatment-related mechanistic effects on hepatic iron metabolism.
