Abstract

Ischemic stroke is a common and severe occurrence in Sickle Cell Anaemia (SCA) but no accurate screening measures currently exist for adults. Changes in venous oxygen saturation (Y_{v}) have been suggested as a potential biomarker but measuring Y_{v} in vivo is challenging. This work explores the potential of MRI susceptibility mapping to measure Y_{v} in SCA subjects. Susceptibility-mapping-based measures of Y_{v} were compared between 25 SCA subjects and 15 healthy controls. Significantly lower Y_{v} was measured in the superior sagittal sinus in the SCA group compared to healthy controls, showing that QSM is sensitive to changes in Y_{v} in SCA.
