Changes in liver iron concentration (LIC) generally precede changes in cardiac iron loading.\u00a0 As cardiac iron loading increases so does the risk of iron-induced arrhythmia and cardiac failure.\u00a0 Cardiac iron-loading can be assessed by MRI measurement of cardiac T2*\u00a0 (cardiac T2* is globally recognised as the gold standard in the assessment of cardiac iron load via T2* measurement).\u00a0 Iron-induced damage to heart tissue may be mitigated if appropriate and timely chelation therapy is commenced.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Every site globally that is set up for Resonance Health Cardiac T2* acquires images in a standardised manner, all analysis is performed in a stringently quality controlled core laboratory, and results are directly comparable from site to site and across time.<\/p>

Regular assessment of body iron overload through the FerriScan and Cardiac T2* Dual Analysis Service enables better informed decisions on the management of patients at risk of iron-induced organ damage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
