Overview

Hepatica v1 is a clinical and surgical decision support tool developed by Perspectum. It utilizes artificial intelligence to provide quantitative measurements and visualizations of liver health from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.

The software is designed to assist clinicians in assessing a patient’s liver health, particularly for pre-surgical planning in liver cancer. It performs AI-driven delineation of the liver and individual Couinaud segments, generating a single report that includes quantitative metrics and images.

Hepatica v1 quantifies liver fibro-inflammation (cT1), fat (PDFF), and volume for both the whole liver and individual Couinaud segments. This information helps clinicians accurately predict future liver remnant (FLR) to inform surgical decision-making, identify patients at risk of poor post-operative outcomes, and potentially reduce post-surgical complication rates and hospital stays.

The tool integrates seamlessly into clinical workflows through a PACS-integrated cloud-based service and provides patient-friendly reports.

What Physicians Need to Know

Key Capabilities
Hepatica v1 is an AI-driven clinical and surgical decision support tool that provides quantitative assessment of liver health and volume using non-invasive multiparametric MRI. It automatically delineates the liver and individual Couinaud segments, quantifying fibro-inflammation (cT1), fat (PDFF), and volume, and offers 3D visualization.
Clinical Utility
The tool aids in pre-operative liver health assessment for liver cancer patients, identifying those at risk of poor post-operative outcomes and longer hospital stays. It informs surgical decision-making by providing accurate future liver remnant (FLR) estimations and objective information for personalized clinical management, potentially reducing complications and hospital stays.
Integration Options
Hepatica v1 is delivered as a cloud-based service, designed for seamless integration into existing clinical workflows, including PACS systems, without requiring additional MRI infrastructure.
Compliance Status
Hepatica v1 has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial use. It was developed in compliance with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 standards. Its underlying cT1 and PDFF metrics are derived from Perspectum's FDA-cleared and CE-marked LiverMultiScan technology.
Pricing Model
The service is reimbursed by CMS and covered by many commercial payers in the U.S., utilizing CPT Codes 0648T and +0649T.
User Experience
The system provides simple, patient-friendly reports. Perspectum offers tailored training to MR Radiographers for MRI protocol installation and data acquisition. Data undergoes automated and manual quality checks by trained operators at Perspectum's analysis center, with results re-checked before delivery.
Support Quality
Perspectum provides support via email ([email protected]) and phone hotlines (US: +1 833 875 0862, UK: +44 800 029 3049) during business hours (9:00 am to 5:30 pm CT and GMT). They also offer remedial QC visits and retraining for image quality issues.
Implementation Complexity
Implementation is streamlined as it's a cloud-based service requiring no additional MRI hardware. Perspectum's teams handle MRI protocol installation and provide necessary training to ensure quality standards are met at scanning centers.
Evidence Base
Hepatica v1 is supported by clinically validated metrics and studies. Initial UK-based research on 143 surgical candidates demonstrated its efficacy in identifying patients at risk of poor outcomes. An observational study on 149 liver cancer patients also showed an association between elevated cT1 and longer post-operative stays. The product's one-pager references several peer-reviewed publications.
Physician Tip

Hepatica v1 offers a non-invasive, MRI-based approach to pre-surgical liver assessment, providing critical quantitative data on liver health and volume. Physicians should integrate these detailed reports, including cT1, PDFF, and Couinaud segment analysis, with other clinical information to enhance surgical planning, predict post-operative risks, and personalize patient management, particularly in liver cancer cases. The patient-friendly reports can also facilitate discussions with patients regarding their liver health and surgical options.

Hepatica v1's cloud-based architecture and PACS integration are designed for minimal disruption to existing radiology and surgical workflows. Ensure your institution's PACS system is compatible for seamless data transfer and report access. No additional MRI hardware is needed, simplifying the technical integration process.
