Correlation of liver iron concentration determined by R2 magnetic resonance imaging with serum ferritin in patients with thalassemia intermedia

Thalassemia intermedia is a highly diverse group of thalassemia syndromes associated with anemia and a range of specific complications, such as extramedullary hematopoiesis, leg ulcers, gallstones and a hypercoagulable state, which are uncommon in patients with thalassemia major.[1][1] The degree of
