How does FerriScan work?
FerriScan is a MRI-based technology that works by analysing abdominal images that are acquired by MRI scanners. As no new equipment is required, a patient is able to have an MRI scan of their abdominal region at any one of the MRI centres around the world setup for FerriScan. The images acquired during the MRI scan are sent via a secure electronic link to the FerriScan central analysis centre for processing and a “Liver Iron Concentration” (LIC) report is produced. The report is made available to the MRI centre which in turn provides it to the referring clinician.
