| Popis: | Background: Thalassemia patients have diabetes mellitus subaltern to hemosiderosis.Aim of Study: To asses iron overload in pancreas of pediatrics beta-thalassemia major patients by T2*-Gradient-echo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and to study corre-lation of results of data of MRI with affection with diabetes, serum ferritin level, hepatic hemosiderosis, and spleen removal.Methods: 20 (3-thalassemia major patients with regular blood transfusion (11 males and 9 females) follow-up at the Hematology Clinic, Children's Hospital, Tanta University.Results: Striking reduction in hepatic and pancreatic Signal Intensity Ratio (SIR) was appeared in thalassemic patients contrasted with controls (p |
