520 3 |a Purpose: Few studies of renal iron content have been performed with multiecho gradient-echo (ME-GRE) T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We assessed the feasibility and reproducibility of ME-GRE T2* MRI for measuring regional and global renal T2* values, and established the lower limits of normal in healthy subjects, also correlating the measured values with age and sex. Methods: Twenty consecutive healthy subjects (13 men and 7 women, mean age 29.1±7.2years, range 19-42years) underwent MRI examinations using a 1.5 T magnet and an ME-GRE T2* sequence. For each kidney, T2* was measured in anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial renal parenchymal regions. The mean T2* value was calculated as the average of the two kidneys T2* values. Results: For the mean kidney T2* value, the coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-operator reproducibility were 1.76% and 6.23%, respectively. The lower limit of normal for the mean kidney T2* value was 31ms (median 51.39±10.09). There was no significant difference between left and right kidney T2* values (p=0.578). No significant correlation was found between T2* values and subjects' age or sex. Conclusions: Renal ME-GRE T2* appears to be a feasible and reproducible technique. The renal T2* values showed no dependence on sex or age.
