| Abstract: | Summary A magnetic method for direct noninvasive measurements of human hepatic storage iron with a SQUID susceptometer has been developed.In vivo magnetic andin vitro chemical determinations of liver nonheme iron are closely correlated. Magnetic measurements of iron stores are clinically useful in the diagnosis of disorders of iron metabolism. Supported in part by research grants AM 25105, AM 14370 and HL 24198 from the National Institutes of Health. |
