Room-temperature susceptometry predicts biopsy-determined hepatic iron in patients with elevated serum ferritin

Background. There is an ongoing clinical need for novel methods to measure hepatic iron content (HIC) noninvasively. Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) methods have previously shown promise for estimation of HIC, but these methods can be exp...
