One-Drop Serum Screening Test to Monitor Tissue Iron Accumulation.

Analytical chemistry
Although iron is an essential element for vital body functions, iron overload (IO) is accompanied by significant cellular damage due to its accumulation within organs. Thus, early diagnosis and accurate identification of the affected organs are criti...

MRI Deep Learning-Based Automatic Segmentation of Interventricular Septum for Black-Blood Myocardial T2* Measurement in Thalassemia.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: The T2* value of interventricular septum is routinely reported for grading myocardial iron load in thalassemia major, and automatic segmentation of septum could shorten analysis time and reduce interobserver variability.

Deep Learning Staging of Liver Iron Content From Multiecho MR Images.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: MRI represents the most established liver iron content (LIC) evaluation approach by estimation of liver T2* value, but it is dependent on the choice of the measurement region and the software used for image analysis.

Evaluation of the Association of Transferrin Receptor Type 2 Gene Mutation (Y250X) with Iron Overload in Major β- Thalassemia.

Archives of Razi Institute
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces defective hemoglobin. One of the important processes to reduce the complication of major β-thalassemia is blood transfusion that leads to elevated ferritin levels in the blood. Man...

Automated Whole-Liver MRI Segmentation to Assess Steatosis and Iron Quantification in Chronic Liver Disease.

Radiology
Background Standardized manual region of interest (ROI) sampling strategies for hepatic MRI steatosis and iron quantification are time consuming, with variable results. Purpose To evaluate the performance of automatic MRI whole-liver segmentation (WL...
