3D MRI scan to assess liver scarring and pressure

Cirrhosis, LiverPortal HypertensionAdvanced Chronic Liver Disease

Part of Digestive system clinical trials.

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.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

N/A
Enrollment
150 people
Ages
18 years to 75 years
Study type
Observational

Who can take part

  • You are at least 18 years old and can give written consent
  • You have confirmed advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) from any cause
  • Your doctor is planning a liver pressure measurement (HVPG), and your 3D-MRE MRI is done within 1 month beforehand
  • You do not have liver or other body cancers, and you do not have large focal spots in the liver or spleen that could interfere with the scan
  • You can safely have MRI and the HVPG test (no major MRI or HVPG safety issues)
  • You have not had prior liver or spleen surgery that would affect the scan, and you were not on nonselective beta-blockers between the MRI and HVPG

New way to measure liver pressure without needles

This study tests a new, non-invasive method (using an MRI) to estimate pressure in the veins of the liver. If successful, it could replace the need for a catheter procedure for patients being evaluated for a liver transplant.

New scans to detect liver disease complications

This study uses two types of scans (MRI and ultrasound) to check for high pressure in the veins of your liver. It may help doctors find problems earlier without invasive tests.

Study in advanced liver scarring using pressure and stiffness tests

This study looks at people over 18 who have advanced, long-term liver scarring. It uses specialized measurements of liver stiffness and pressure to confirm eligibility and may help doctors better understand this condition.

MRI scan to assess blood flow in liver disease and TIPS outcomes

This study uses advanced MRI imaging to measure blood flow in the liver and evaluate how well a procedure called TIPS (a small tube placed in the liver) works for managing liver cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis and may need or are getting TIPS, this trial could help doctors better understand and improve outcomes.

Comparing 2D and 3D MRI scans for liver scarring and pressure

This study compares two types of MRI scans (2D and 3D) to see which is better at measuring liver scarring and high blood pressure in the liver's main vein. It is for people with cirrhosis who are already scheduled to have their liver vein pressure measured.

Using MRI to better diagnose liver fat, inflammation, and scarring

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.
