To investigate equilibrium contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging measurement of extracellular volume (ECV) fraction within healthy abdominal tissues and to test the hypotheses that tissue ECV in systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is greater than in healthy patients and show that this increase correlates with organ amyloid burden.
