Perspectum announces chronic liver screening partnership with Precious Medical Centre
10 October 2019 -

Diagnostic solutions company Perspectum Diagnostics announced on Wednesday a partnership with Singapore imaging centre Precious Medical Centre to provide an accurate method to quantify chronic liver disease and improve quality of care for patients in Asia.

Through the partnership LiverMultiScan, a non-invasive assessment of liver tissue health, is now available at Precious Medical Centre. LiverMultiScan quantifies liver fat, iron and fibro-inflammation, providing additional insight to support the management of chronic liver disease patients and potentially reduce the need for painful biopsies.

Precious Medical Centre in Singapore is the first facility in Asia to offer LiverMultiScan.

Chronic liver disease is a 'silent' and growing epidemic, Perspectum said. Increasing levels of obesity and diabetes have driven a rise in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). If liver disease is diagnosed early, progression can be limited, reducing the need for expensive interventions.
