Transfusional hemosiderosis is a potential side effect of frequent blood transfusions. [2] These may be given for a number of conditions, including: thalassemia. sickle cell disease. [3] leukemia. aplastic anemia. myelodysplastic syndrome.
A conventional gradient echo T2*-weighted image (left, TE=20 ms) shows some low-signal foci associated with CAA. On the other hand, an SWI image (center, with a resolution of 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm x 2.0 mm, projected over 8mm) shows many more associated low-signal foci. Phase images were used to enhance the effect of the local hemosiderin build-up.
Hemosiderin deposition in the lungs is often seen after diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, which occurs in diseases such as Goodpasture's syndrome, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. Mitral stenosis can also lead to pulmonary hemosiderosis. Hemosiderin collects throughout the body in hemochromatosis.
During the last 150 years, thousands of papers focusing on the effects or side effects of magnetic or radiofrequency fields have been published. They can be categorized as incidental and physiological. [2] Contraindications to MRI include most cochlear implants and cardiac pacemakers, shrapnel and metallic foreign bodies in the eyes.
T2*-weighted imaging of the brain 26 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage, showing hemosiderin deposits as hypointense areas. [1] T 2 *-weighted imaging is an MRI sequence to quantify observable or effective T 2 (T2* or "T2-star"). In this sequence, hemorrhages and hemosiderin deposits become hypointense. [2]
