title: Imaging the bone marrow with magnetic resonance during a crisis and in chronic forms of sickle cell disease.
abstract: Five patients with sickle cell disease have been studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in three instances during a crisis. Attention was directed to the pelvis and lower extremities. Bone marrow pathology has been classified according to generalised or circumscribed alterations in signal intensity on T1 weighted spin-echo sequences. Both acute and chronic changes were observed.
