Abstract
An analysis of the radiological appearances in a skeletal survey of 47 patients in Jamaica with sickle cell ß thalassaemia is presented. The appearances are similar to those in homozygous sickle cell disease and SC disease and a confident distinction between the conditions on radiological grounds alone is unlikely.The appearances are of bone-marrow expansion and of bone infarction. There is a lack of correlation between the extent of radiological change and clinical severity.
