Liver fibrosis study with MRI for MASLD patients
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have suspected MASLD (fatty liver disease with possible scarring) and are scheduled for a liver biopsy within 6 months
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have not had liver cancer (HCC) or liver decompensation (serious liver failure) in the past or now
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have any metal implants, pacemakers, or other devices that would make an MRI unsafe
- You do not have severe claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces)

This study compares ultrasound (DeepUSFF) and MRI (MRI-PDFF) for measuring liver fat in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It aims to see if ultrasound can be used as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to MRI.
This study uses routine blood tests to find people with advanced liver scarring caused by a condition called MASLD. If you are between 50 and 75, have certain metabolic risks, and get blood work from your primary care doctor at select centers, you may be eligible.
This study is testing whether advanced imaging and other non-invasive methods can properly identify people with significant liver scarring due to metabolic liver disease or alcohol-related liver disease. It may help find better ways to track liver health without repeated needle biopsies.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the liver and help classify a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose this condition.
This study looks at factors that predict liver cancer and the need for a liver transplant in people with a liver condition called MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease). The goal is to better understand the disease and improve care.
This study tests a new screening tool to find advanced liver scarring in people with liver disease linked to diabetes. It helps doctors decide who needs more tests or specialist care.
