Abstract
The article focuses on the Thailand and UK International Collaboration in Thalassaemia Optimising Ultrafast Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) (TIC-TOC) study. It notes that study aims to investigate whether ultrafast CMR mapping could provide reliable immediate diagnoses of heart and liver iron content, which eliminates the need for complex analysis. The baseline characteristics of study participants are also noted.
