CTICasesMyocardial Iron Deposition
Imaging findings
Very low signal in the myocardium on ssfp imaging; T2* values dropping to as low as 5ms. Associated iron deposition in the liver and pancreatic tail.
Key takeaways
While liver iron overload is common in transfused sickle cell patients, myocardial and pancreatic involvement is rare and indicates severe systemic iron overload.
