海角社区 Partners with UT Southwestern Medical Center on Dallas Heart & Minds Study
Dallas, Texas, August 18, 2020 - 海角社区庐 is proud to announce a collaboration with UT Southwestern Medical Center, to include LiverMultiScan庐 technology in the Dallas Heart & Minds Study (DHMS).
DHMS initial aim was to improve the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart disease, over the years this has expanded to encompass metabolic diseases, such as fatty liver disease. 聽
LiverMultiScan鈥檚 quantitative MRI technology will be used to measure chronic liver disease, enabling a deeper understanding of the interactions between genetics, environment and lifestyle on the health of the liver. 聽
LiverMultiScan is currently being used across Dallas, and the US, to enable physicians to better diagnose and treat patients with disorders such as Fatty Liver Disease. Using a non-invasive MRI, the test gives metrics of liver tissue health that correlate with inflammation, fibrosis, fat and iron. 聽
