MRI is widely used as a non-invasive method to diagnose and monitor liver diseases. For certain quantitative MRI techniques, liver iron content may affect the measurement. In this work, we investigated the influence of liver iron content on several quantitative MRI methods, including macromolecular proton fraction, T1rho and intravoxel incoherent motion.
