The VIDA 3T MRI accelerates image acquisition to significantly shorten a patient’s exam time without compromising quality. Traditional methods for detecting ALFD and NALFD, like liver biopsy and ultrasound, are associated with numerous limitations including subjective interpretation, sampling error, high cost, risk of complications and patient reluctance. “The enhanced technology for fatty liver screenings available through Vida 3T MRI magnetic resonance elastography offers early detection of ALFD and NALFD before it reaches the untreatable fibrosis stage,” Dr. MRE is considered the industry gold standard due to its superior diagnostic performance, efficiency and reliability, a release states.ĭoctor of Osteopathic Medicine Matthew Hesh, SimonMed’s expert thoracic and abdominal imaging radiologist, confirms if caught early enough, fatty liver disease can be diagnosed properly, monitored and potentially improved with medication.
VIDA 3T MRI uses magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), which combines MRI with sound waves to create a visual map (elastogram) to show the stiffness of body tissues. Only available at SimonMed - Mountain View, Siemens Magnetom VIDA 3T MRI is a reliable tool for detecting fibrosis caused by fatty liver disease and other chronic liver diseases. If left untreated, fatty liver disease has the potential to cause serious inflammation, with visible scarring in the liver (fibrosis).įibrosis can lead to severe, irreversible scarring (cirrhosis) and even liver cancer. SimonMed offers the first of its kind imaging to detect both alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Poor diet, obesity and lack of physical activity are the leading cause fatty liver disease. SimonMed Imaging - Mountain View in Scottsdale, an outpatient medical imaging provider and physician radiology practice, is among the first in Arizona to offer advanced fatty liver disease screening.Īlso known as Non-Alcoholic Steato-hepatosis (NASH), fatty liver disease affects more than 80 million people in the U.S., including 6 million children, according to a press release.
