Deferoxamine as a potential cause of incidentally found T1-hyperintense urine on magnetic resonance imaging

T1-hyperintense urine can be an incidental finding on MRI with many potential causes, such as prior gadolinium administration or hematuria. This is the case of a 33-year-old female with a history of sickle cell disease complicated by iron overload secondary to chronic transfusions, who has been on m...

Deferoxamine as a potential cause of incidentally found T1-hyperintense urine on magnetic resonance imaging
description T1-hyperintense urine can be an incidental finding on MRI with many potential causes, such as prior gadolinium administration or hematuria.
