Quantitative measurements of brain iron deposition in cirrhotic patients using susceptibility mapping
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has been used to detect micro-bleeds and iron deposits in the brain. However, no reports have been published on the application of SWI in studying iron changes in the brain of cirrhotic patients.
PURPOSE: To compare the susceptibility of different brain structures in cirrhotic patients with that in healthy controls and to evaluate susceptibility as a potential biomarker and correlate the …
