Axial black blood imaging (a) and coronal bright blood imaging (b) acquired during a myocardial and hepatic iron loading protocol CMR in an individual with thalassaemia major. There are several prominent heterogeneous posterior mediastinal masses (solid white arrows) consistent with extramedullary haematopoeisis. The liver is uniformly low signal (white *), which is visual evidence of hepatic iron loading in the clinical context and the spleen is absent (black *) which may be the result of an auto-splenectomy
