Myocardial iron loading in transfusion-dependent thalassemia and sickle cell disease.

TL;DR: Cardiac T2* (magnetic resonance imaging relaxation parameter) is abnormally low in approximately 40% of adults with thalassemia major, suggesting myocardial iron deposition, but it is unknown at what age this occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac iron determines cardiac T2*, T2, and T1 in the gerbil model of iron cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: MRI measurements of cardiac T2 and T2* can be used to quantify cardiac iron and the similarity of liver and cardiac iron calibration curves in the gerbil suggests that extrapolation of human liver calibration curves to heart may be a rational approximation in humans.

Quantitative Short Echo Time 1H-MR Spectroscopy of Untreated Pediatric Brain Tumors: Preoperative Diagnosis and Characterization

TL;DR: Quantitative proton MR spectroscopy reveals features of pediatric brain tumors that are likely to improve preoperative diagnoses and to describe metabolic features that distinguish individual tumor types and that may help to improvePreoperative diagnosis of specific tumors.
