About the study
The purpose of this research is to see if a new automated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method will be able to improve the images taken of the liver. Participants will have either known or suspected liver disease, known or suspected iron overload syndrome, or be a healthy adult. Participants will be in the research study for one day.
