English
Authors' results and conclusions:
There is a high level of diagnostic evidence for the assessment of liver iron stores using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The non-invasive nature of the procedure and the existing use of MRI technology in Australia, give this technology the potential for rapid uptake.
Authors' recommendations:
HealthPACT recommends that a Horizon Scanning report be conducted. However, in the interim period since this decision, an application was made to the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) for a full health technology assessment on this technology.
