FerriScan is an analysis service that provides an accurate measurement of liver iron concentration (LIC) through a non-invasive, MRI-based technology.
The process uses patented spin density projection R2-MRI imaging technology. MRI images are captured and securely transmitted to the FerriScan ISO 9001 accredited analysis facility. The patented FerriScan analysis procedure produces a map of liver iron and calculates a mean LIC measurement.
Results are then available for secure download within a target time of 48 hours.
FerriScan analysis provides proven accuracy in the determination of liver iron concentration, the highest sensitivity and specificity over the range of liver iron concentrations of any MRI-based method of LIC measurement and results that are reliable and reproducible over time and across different models of MRI scanner.
