MRI testing during liver transplant evaluation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having an MRI scan during liver transplant planning helps predict who may have worse outcomes or higher risk of death. It focuses on adults with severe liver disease who are already being considered for a transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being evaluated for a liver transplant because of end-stage liver disease
- Your transplant team has a clinical reason to do an MRI during your evaluation
- You are an adult (not a child)
- You can safely have an MRI (no MRI contraindications)

This study uses a special heart MRI to check for a heart condition called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in people waiting for a liver transplant. The results may help doctors better understand and treat heart problems in patients with cirrhosis.
This study looks at how loss of muscle strength or mass (sarcopenia) relates to advanced liver disease. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk and could guide future care choices.
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
This study looks at MRI images taken as part of routine care to see if they can help predict future health problems in people with liver disease. If you already have an MRI scheduled for clinical reasons, this may help doctors better estimate risk over time.
This study uses a new MRI technique to check how well your new liver is working after transplant, without any needles or biopsy. If you have had a liver transplant and are scheduled for an MRI, you may be able to join.
This study is testing whether an MRI can help doctors see liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease. It is for patients who already need a liver biopsy as part of their care, to compare the MRI results with the biopsy.
