| Review Title: | Iron-containing pathologies of the spleen: Magnetic resonance imaging features with pathologic correlation |
| Abstract: | Systemic and non-systemic pathologies that involve iron deposition within the spleen have characteristic features on MRI due to the susceptibility properties of deposited iron, or hemosiderin. These lesions will have signal loss on longer echo sequences due to the T2* effect when evaluated with dual-echo gradient-echo sequences. The pathophysiology of systemic and localized iron sequestration disease processes can elucidate an underlying diagnosis based on these imaging features in conjunction with clinical information. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. |
