Figure 4. Case 2: Female aged 33 years with 
-thalassaemia major. (a) T2 weighted (repetition time (TR)/echo time (TE)eff=2500/91 ms) and (b) fat and long T2 suppressed ultrashort echo time (FLUTE) (TR/TE=500/0.08 ms) images. The marrow signal is moderately reduced in (a) where there is loss of disc signal except at L2/L3 which shows high signal centrally with adjacent reactive changes. The FLUTE image (b) shows high signal in the T10/T11 disc with less marked change in T11/T12 and T12/L1. Low signal is seen centrally in the discs at the lower levels.
