Bone Marrow R2-MRI is an MRI-based solution for assessing iron levels in the bone marrow. Both decreased and increased bone marrow iron are of clinical significance; for example multiple blood transfusions can result in greatly increased bone marrow iron and conversely, the definitive test of iron deficiency is examination of iron from bone marrow aspirates.<\/p>

Elevated bone marrow iron levels prior to bone marrow transplant may be associated with complications and a range of poorer health outcomes following transplant, including:<\/p>
