QP-Liver®
Optimizing liver disease evaluation and healthcare
With QP-Liver®, personalized liver disease management is made possible through advanced technology, enabling quantification of fat and iron at early stages and precise monitoring.
QP-Liver is a post-processing solution that performs fully automatic analyses of abdominal MRI examinations containing a multi-echo chemical shift (MECSE) sequence. Through this innovative approach, we generate parametric maps of fat and iron, offering voxelwise resolution and a structured quantitative report that compares liver values with normative data.
Our cutting-edge tool quantifies fat and iron concentration, enabling comprehensive steatosis and iron overload evaluation. By delivering accurate measurements and comparative analysis, healthcare professionals can easily include quantitative information on radiology reports to assist the decision-making process.
Chronic liver disease is a major healthcare burden, causing high morbidity and mortality rates and straining medical resources.
It accounts for 2 million deaths, representing approximately 4% of global casualties1. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most prevalent liver disorder globally, is characterized by fat accumulation in the liver (steatosis).
Patients with widespread liver disease and metabolic disorders often have abnormal liver iron deposits. While histopathological examination is considered the gold standard, it has limitations such as invasiveness, sampling errors, variability, and patient discomfort.
Our innovative approach provides valuable insights non-invasively for informed decisions.
