Abstract

Brain magnetic resonance imaging can provide information for diagnosing polycythemia vera based on decreased cerebral blood flow, increased deoxyhemoglobin in the cerebral veins, and the cellular replacement of bone marrow. Moreover, brain magnetic resonance imaging may provide information related to the risk of developing cerebral infarction in patients with polycythemia vera.
