BackgroundMRI T2* measurement is playing an important role in liver iron quantification. There are currently two clinical approaches measuring T2* in the region of interest (ROI): the first is to fit the means of signals in the ROI (mean-ROI fitting, MRF) and the second to average the pixel-wisely fitted (PWF) T2* s in the ROI. In a recent study, Marro et al [1] compared the performances of PWF and MRF through mathematical simulations but only the offset model was evaluated.
