In conditions such as thalassaemia, a high liver iron concentration (LIC) may also be associated with cardiac iron overload. Once a certain threshold of LIC is exceeded, iron may begin to accumulate in the heart and other organs. Patients with elevated LIC are at greater risk of future cardiac complications and premature death.
FerriScan liver iron concentration analysis provides accurate monitoring of hepatic iron loading, acting as an early warning of possible future cardiac complications.
The cardiac T2* dual analysis provides, in addition to LIC, a measure of cardiac iron loading. This gives clinicians further information on which to base decisions regarding treatment options.

Cardiac T2* is the most widely accepted MRI-based method for assessing heart iron loading.
It provides significant information for assessing the risk of cardiac failure and arrhythmia.
The FerriScan and cardiac T2* dual analysis service is charged per scan only, requiring no purchase of software or hardware.
