Sickle cell anemia and iron overload due to chronic transfusions.EXAMINATION: MR abdomen without contrast 8/17/2016 Limited noninfused MR of the liver in the coronal and axial planes was performed for iron load measurements. The T2 star determination in the liver was made using 18 echoes of a T2 star sequence in the axial and coronal planes. The range in the axial plane was 4.7-8.2 ms with an average of 5.6 ms. The range in the coronal plane was 5.2-6.0 ms with an average of 4.8 ms.Autosplenectomy is again noted.
Normal T2 star values with no evidence of iron overload.
