Cerebral hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in sickle cell disease: An MRI-based approach

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

In patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), SCD-related complications can induce cerebral abnormalities like silent cerebral infarcts (SCIs). Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms behind these lesions is therefore important. Parameters related to cerebral hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism, quantifiable through noninvasive MRI techniques, offer insights into SCD's
