Magnetic resonance imaging T2* of the pancreas value using an online software tool and correlate with T2* value of myocardium and liver among patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major

Magnetic resonance imaging T2* of the pancreas value using an online software tool and correlate with T2* value of myocardium and liver among patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major

ObjectivePatients with thalassemia major do require lifetime blood transfusions that eventually result in iron accumulation in different organs. We described the usefulness of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2*imaging values for the evaluation of pancreatic iron load in these patients, and w...
