WA-based diagnostics company Resonance Health (ASX: RHT) has lodged an application with the Australian Medical Services Advisory Committee seeking reimbursement for its FerriScan iron test in Australia.

The company has already had some public funding success overseas, with the Whittington Hospital in London receiving funding approval from the British National Health Service [NHS].

FerriScan is used in to test for and measure levels of iron overload in the liver, caused by regular blood transfusions received by patients with sickle cell disease, thalassemia major and myelodysplastic syndromes.
