Effective method of evaluating myocardial iron concentration in pediatric patients with thalassemia major
BACKGROUND: The use of T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been promoted by recent studies as a noninvasive method for the detection of iron overload in thalassemia major patients. This study aims to estimate the iron load in the heart and liver of thalassemia major patients using T2* MRI and t...
