Standalone software application to facilitate the import and visualization of multi slice, gradient echo MRI data sets encompassing the abdomen, with functionality independent of the MRI equipment, to provide objective and reproducible determination of the triglyceride fat fraction in magnetic resonance images of the liver. It utilises magnetic resonance images that exploit the difference in resonance frequencies between hydrogen nuclei in water and triglyceride fat. The quantitative triglyceride fat fraction is based on the measurement of a magnetic resonance parameter that reflects the ratio of the proton density signal of triglyceride fat to the total proton density signal in the liver.HepaFat-Scan is a software device intended for quantitative measurement of the triglyceride fat fraction in magnetic resonance images of the liver. It utilises magnetic resonance images that exploit the difference in resonance frequencies between hydrogen nuclei in water and triglyceride fat. The quantitative triglyceride fat fraction is based on the measurement of a magnetic resonance parameter that reflects the ratio of the proton density signal of triglyceride fat to the total proton density signal in the liver.When interpreted by a trained physician, the results provide information that can aid in diagnosis.
An individual software program or group of programs, routines or algorithms that add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system configuration. A basic set of applications programs and routines are included with such computer-controlled imaging systems and they can be upgraded to correct programming errors or to add new system capabilities. Some applications software programs or program packages must be combined with specific hardware or firmware configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and "version" or "upgrade" number.
