Figure 1. Case one. (a) Axial T₁ weighted in-phase gradient-echo image of the kidneys showing notably low signal intensity of the renal cortex. Note the medullary area is not affected by the iron deposition. (b) Coronal T₂ weighted half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) image. The renal cortex is of low signal intensity compared with the renal medullary zone.
