T2' is another MRI parameter that reflects solely to the
magnetic inhomogeneity and shows high correlations to
LIC, T2 and T2*. We compare liver T2' obtained from ROI
and pixel based method by three curve-fitting models,
mono-exponential, offset and truncation model. Fifteen β
thalassemia major patients were study. Results showed
that ROI based method with offset curve fitting model
potentially provided no significantly difference
outcomes to those of pixel based method for liver T2
measurements.
