4D MRI scan to spot liver scarring
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special MRI scan (called 4D-MRI) can identify liver scarring or damage. It may help doctors measure liver fibrosis and inflammation without relying only on invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a known long-term liver condition (for example fatty liver, hepatitis B or C, alcohol-related, autoimmune, or certain genetic liver diseases) or an episode of liver inflammation/blood congestion
- You can understand the study and sign a written consent form
- You can have an MRI safely (no pacemaker/pumps, no metal objects like splinters, and no recent brain or heart surgery)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 trial tests whether special “4D” MRI scans can improve precision radiation planning for people with lung or liver cancer. You may get MRI scan data to better account for tumor movement, alongside your usual radiation treatment.
This study tests whether a special 3D MRI scan (3D-MRE) can measure liver scarring and the high pressure in the liver called portal hypertension. It may help your team use imaging to understand how severe your liver disease is, especially when a pressure test (HVPG) is being considered.
This study tests an MRI technique that briefly holds your breath to measure how scarred your liver tissue is. It may help doctors better spot and track liver fibrosis (scarring).
This study compares two non-invasive approaches to diagnose advanced liver scarring in people with non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It may help confirm which test strategy finds advanced scarring without needing a biopsy for everyone.
