Exploring the potential utilities of 99mTc-labeled RBC-equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography in transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia major patients

99mTc-labeled RBC-equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) is done in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) patients routinely for cardiac dysfunction. This prospective study aimed at evaluating the potential of ERNA in demonstrating the bone marrow hyperplasia as an adjunct biomarker for monitoring the adequacy of blood transfusions in transfusion-dependent β-TM patients.One hundred and twenty-six patients of β-TM (study...
