- Abstract
The article discusses a cross-sectional study that determines hemochromatosis grades in liver biopsies and liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Researchers observed the liver biopsy slides and MRI results of blood transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients to detect iron concentration. Significant correlation of the data was noted using Spearman's rho test. It also adds that MRI is effective in monitoring iron concentration.
