- 19 April 2017
Recent study results have demonstrated that FerriScan, the globally recognised gold standard for the measurement of liver iron concentration (LIC), is not confounded by the presence of liver steatosis. This places FerriScan at a distinct advantage to alternative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) LIC assessment techniques, such as liver T2*, whose results are impacted by the presence of fat due to the inherent nature of the technique.

Survey Results: Transfusional Iron Overload and Cancer Survivors
- 30 March 2017
Following the publication of several studies discussing the occurrence of transfusional iron overload in cancer survivors, Resonance Health asked specialist healthcare providers to complete a survey on clinical practice in monitoring and treating iron overload in this cohort. The survey response was excellent and as such is considered a valid snapshot of current practice.
Cancer Survivorship Conferences
- 30 March 2017
Resonance Health is actively involved in exploring and promoting awareness of the risk of iron toxicity and fatty liver in cancer survivors, which has resulted from cancer treatment regimes. We are working with healthcare providers, patient advocacy groups, health institutions, and patients, to assist with the provision of optimal patient care. Recently, we have attended two conferences targeted towards cancer survivorship; the Cancer Survivorship Summit in the UK and the Cancer Survivor Meeting in the USA.
