We compared between median T2*obtained from pixel based
method and the T2* derived from ROI based method in 3
different fitting models, mono-exponential, Offset and
Truncation model. Fifteen β thalassemia major patients
were involved to this study. The results showed strongly
correlation between T2* obtained from two methods with
offset fitting model and there was no significant
difference between the 2 methods with this fitting
model. ROI based method with offset fitting model
potentially provided similar T2* to that of pixel based
method for liver T2* measurements.
