The magnetic resonance imaging features of the wrist of a patient suffering from the arthropathy of haemochromatosis are presented. It is apparent that the deposition of iron within the bone marrow is focal in origin and may be associated with cyst formation. In addition, changes in serum ferritin levels with treatment suggest that the deposition is irreversible. Studies of two other patients with haemochromatosis without cyst formation in the wrists did not yield similar artefacts, in spite of having high ferritin levels and arthritis.
本文展示了一名患有血色素沉着病性关节病患者手腕的磁共振成像特征。很明显，骨髓内的铁沉积起源于局部，可能与囊肿形成有关。此外，治疗过程中血清铁蛋白水平的变化表明这种沉积是不可逆的。另外两名手腕未形成囊肿的血色素沉着病患者，尽管铁蛋白水平高且有关节炎，但研究未发现类似的假象。
