LiverMultiScan (LMSv4) is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device software application for non-invasive liver evaluation that enables the generation, display and review of 2D magnetic resonance medical image data and pixel maps for MR relaxation times.
LiverMultiScan (LMSv4) is designed to utilize DICOM 3.0 compliant magnetic resonance image datasets, acquired from compatible MR systems, to display the internal structure of the abdomen including the liver. Other physical parameters derived from the images may also be produced.
LiverMultiScan (LMSv4) provides a number of tools, such as automated liver segmentation and region of interest (ROI) placements, to be used for the assessment of selected regions of an image. Quantitative assessments of selected regions include the determination of triglyceride fat fraction in the liver (PDFF), T2* and iron-corrected T1 (cT1) measurements. T2* may be optionally computed using the DIXON or LMS MOST methods.
These images and the physical parameters derived from the images, when interpreted by a trained clinician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis
