Coronal (a) and axial (b) T2 single shot fast spin echo (ssFSE) images (TE 90/TR 1400) demonstrate marked reduction in signal intensity of the liver and spleen. Portahepatic lymph nodes (white arrow in b) also demonstrate low T2 signal intensity. Axial T2 ssFSE image from baseline MRI performed 15 months prior (c) demonstrates normal signal intensity of the liver, spleen and portal lymph nodes (black arrow in c), which are barely perceptible on this non-fat suppressed image. Low signal intensity in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes in a and b is due to ferumoxytol, which was administered just prior to the examination. Also note the morphologic features of cirrhosis, splenomegaly and a small volume of peri-hepatic fluid
