Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or Female patients will need documentation of diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome by previous bone marrow exam
  • Male or female patients with MDS who have received at least 50 units of Red Blood Cell Transfusions.
  • Serum ferritin > 1,000
  • Written informed consent by the patient.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindication to MRI, including cardiac pacemaker, brain aneurysm clip, implanted neurostimulator, insulin pump, cochlear implant, metal slivers in the eyes, intrauterine device or any other MRI incompatible metal implants or intractable claustrophobia.

Arm Label

1

Arm Description

Patients who meet eligibility will be sent for radiographic imaging to include T2* cardiac and liver MRI to ascertain quantification of organ-specific iron concentrations as well as cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To evaluate the incidence of clinically significant cardiac iron overload in heavily transfused MDS patients using T2* MRI.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Evaluate left ventricular ejection fraction as assessed by T2* MRI.
Evaluate liver iron concentration as assessed by R2* MRI

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A known risk of red blood cell transfusions is that it puts excess iron into the patient's body. Researchers are continually seeking the most effective method of measuring iron concentration. The purpose of this study is to determine how much iron has been deposited in a patient's heart and liver as a result of having received red blood cell transfusions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
