Comparison of Single-Slice Liver R2* Estimation with FerriSmart for Assessment of Hepatic Iron overload

FerriScan is considered the gold standard to quantify liver iron content (LIC) by MRI. Recently, FerriSmart, an AI—based algorithm was developed to permit faster postprocessing of R2-based LIC. To our knowledge, FerriSmart results have not been compared to R2*-LIC methods. In this work, R2*, R2*-LIC, and FerriSmart LIC were compared to evaluate their agreement.
