Abstract:Purpose
Transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) is associated with iron accumulation in the body and an increased tendency for thrombosis. With the increased life expectancy in these patients, the detection of neurocognitive complications has gained importance. This study investigates the microstructural changes in TDT patients using advanced diffusion MRI techniques and their relationship with laboratory parameters.
Methods
The study included 14 TDT patie… Show more
