Due to the increased iron stores, patients with iron
overloading diseases eventually develop hepato- and
splenomegaly. The purpose of this study was 1.) to
investigate the accuracy of liver volumen measurements
using MR-volumetry and ultasonic planimetry and 2.) to
correlate liver volume with liver iron concentration
assessed with MR-R2* relaxometry in patients with iron
overloading diseases.
