Fig. 3From: The impact of magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of iron overload in heart and liver in transfusion-dependent thalassemic children: Minia experienceLeft ventricular (LV) short-axis MRI in an 8-year-old male child with TM using gradient-echo sequence with multiple echo times (TEs) for evaluation of T2*. ROI is drawn at mid-IVS. Note that the signal intensity of the interventricular septum becomes dark at greater TEs denoting severe iron overloadBack to article page
