Publications

The multiparametric MRI technology underpinning LiverMultiScan^® was first published in two landmark papers from the University of Oxford, highlighting the utility for non-invasive diagnosis and staging of liver disease (Banerjee, R. et al. 2014-J. Hepatol) and prediction of clinical outcomes in patients with chronic liver disease (Pavlides, 2016-J. Hepatol.). Subsequent publications have demonstrated utility in fatty liver disease (Pavlides, 2016-Liver Int., Wilman, 2017, Eddowes, 2018) along with cost-effectiveness when incorporated into a clinical pathway (Blake, 2016).

In earlier posted publications there is mention of a LIF score which is a composite measure based on cT1, a metric provided by LiverMultiScan. LIF is a mapping of cT1 onto a 0-4 scale. cT1 has replaced LIF as the preferred metric for representing iron-corrected relaxation time of liver tissue. It is a direct metric shown to correlate with fibro-inflammation of liver tissue.
