    Hi RM,

    This is an amazing new diagnostic and will seriously reduce the need for invasive procedures such as biopsy . Here is my scan (also posted in my blog, but that is long, so thanks for the opportunity to post again).

    This scan uses MRI but without the need for contrast dye .

    As well as fibrosis, it also measures iron & fat levels.
    Perspectrum are doing great work to help liver disease patients :
