Cardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
متن کاملEffects of magnetic resonance imaging on cardiac pacemakers and electrodes.
In phantom studies we investigated the effects of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on pacemakers and electrodes. Twenty-five electrodes were exposed to MRI in a 1.5T scanner with continuous registration of the temperature at the electrode tip. Eleven pacemakers (five single chamber and six dual chamber) were exposed to MRI. Pacemaker output was monitored to detect malfunction in VOO/DOO and VVI...
متن کاملCan patients with implantable pacemakers safely undergo magnetic resonance imaging?
he controversy over whether pacemaker patients should be llowed in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suite is ot new (1). With nearly 250 device patients reportedly aving undergone safe magnetic resonance (MR) scanning, ome investigators suggest selected pacemaker patients ight safely undergo MRI (2–5). Nevertheless, many auhorities such as Pinski and Trohman (6), flatly state that R scannin...
متن کاملDNA Damages on Blood Cells After Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: Along with the increased use of cardiac imaging at clinics there is increased attention to the potential risks related to the methods used like magnetic resonance (MR) and it cannot be ruled out that MR can alter DNA structure. The aim of this review is to assess the impact of routine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning on DNA damages in human T lymphocytes....
