CMR T2* Technique for Segmental and Global Quantification of Myocardial Iron: Multicentre Transferability and Healthcare Impact Evaluation

The multislice multiecho T2* technique is transferable among scanners with good reproducibility. The network seems to be a robust and scalable system in which T2* CMR based cardiac iron overload assessment is available, accessible and reachable for a significant and increasing number of thalassemia patients, reducing the mean distance from the patients' locations to the CMR sites.
