Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: MRI arm
Subjects with sickle cell disease undergoing bone marrow transplantation will undergo serial functional MRI (up to 4 scans).
|
Diagnostic Test: serial functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
All subjects with sickle cell disease undergoing bone marrow transplantation will undergo up to 4 functional MRI scans. |
- Feasibility of obtaining serial scans in patients with sickle cell undergoing marrow transplant [ Time Frame: 110 days post transplant ]Feasibility will be measured by the number of subjects who undergo at least 2 of 4 scheduled functional MRI's
- MRI and hemoglobin S. [ Time Frame: 1 year post transplant ]Correlation between functional MRI result and hemoglobin S level.
- MRI and neutrophil engraftment [ Time Frame: 1 year post transplant ]Correlation between functional MRI result and time to neutrophil engraftment
- MRI and chimerism [ Time Frame: 1 year post transplant ]Correlation between functional MRI result and time to donor/ recipient chimerism
