MRI Quantification of Liver Iron Concentration

**Semantic type:** Diagnostic Procedure

**Definition:** A magnetic resonance imaging method used to quantitate liver iron concentrations. Water ions moving near magnetic iron deposits destroy the homogeneity of the magnetic field causing the MRI image to darken at a rate proportional to the iron concentration.
