Correlation between MRI-derived and biopsy-confirmed liver iron concentration in patients with chronic liver disease

Iron is an essential physiological element required for hematopoiesis. The liver serves as the principal storage site for iron in the body. Liver iron concentration (LIC) is commonly reported in milligrams of iron per gram of dry liver tissue (mg Fe/g) [1,2]. For the clinical hepatologist, liver iron quantification in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients may help determine disease etiology, progression, and management [3].
