Automated MRI to measure liver fat and iron
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses an automated MRI scan to measure things in the liver, such as liver fat and iron levels. It may help researchers better understand liver changes and improve how these measurements are done.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no MRI safety problems)
- You cannot be pregnant or trying to become pregnant
- For some parts: you must be 18 or older
- For other parts: you must be 7 or older and have suspected/known liver iron overload or high liver fat
- If sedation is needed for the MRI, you usually cannot join (except mild oral anti-anxiety medicine with specific rules in one part)
- For the part that allows mild oral anti-anxiety medicine: you must have your own prescription, consent before taking it, and have a driver

This study uses a new MRI technique to look at blood flow and iron in the liver, without needing a biopsy. It tests how well this newer imaging method works in people with liver disease and in healthy volunteers, to help improve diagnosis and monitoring.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to get a clearer picture of liver fat, inflammation, and scarring in people with chronic liver disease. It aims to help doctors diagnose and understand liver problems better.
This study uses MRI scans to look at what happens in the body after you receive intravenous (into a vein) iron to treat low iron levels. It may help doctors understand whether the treatment is working and why.
This study compares an ultrasound technique with MRI to measure fat in the liver. It aims to see if ultrasound can reliably measure liver fat without needing an MRI, which may be faster and more comfortable for patients with fatty liver disease.
This study tests a new ultrasound method to classify fatty liver disease, which might offer a safer and cheaper alternative to MRI. It compares ultrasound results with MRI in healthy people and those with liver disease to see if it can accurately measure liver fat and scarring.
This study tests whether a new type of MRI scan can better detect and measure liver disease, including fatty liver and scarring, compared to standard CT scans. If you have chronic liver disease, this study may help improve how we diagnose and track it.
