The utility of susceptibility-weighted imaging to evaluate the extent of iron accumulation in the choroid plexus of patients with beta-thalassaemia major

Abstract

AIM: To assess iron accumulation in the choroid plexus of beta-thalassaemia patients using fast spin echo (FSE) T2-weighted, gradient echo (GRE) T2*-weighted, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and compare the results.
