Prospective study highlights cerebral microbleeds and iron levels in sickle cell and thalassemia patients, indicating clinical care needs.

Cerebral microbleeds and silent infarcts were identified in patients with sickle cell disease.
QSM susceptibility ranged widely among sickle cell disease and thalassemia subjects, reflecting iron deposits.
MRI techniques were employed to measure microbleeds and iron deposits in the brain's basal ganglia.
Findings suggest that patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia may require improved monitoring due to iron overload.

Yu et al. (2025) studied this question.
