Optimisation of T2 and T2* sequences in MRI for better quantification of iron on transfused dependent sickle cell patients

Abstract This work aimed to investigate the effect of different shim techniques, voxel sizes, and repetition time (TR) on using theT2 and T2* sequences to determine their optimum settings to investigate the quantification of iron in transfused dependent sickle cell patients. The effect of each of th...
