Comparing CT and MRI scans for live liver donors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well CT scans and MRI scans (MRCP) show the blood vessels in the liver before a living donor liver donation. It aims to find out which scan is better at planning the surgery.

This study looks at how the donor's liver grows back after donating a part of it for a living donor liver transplant. If you have donated a part of your liver between 2004 and 2026, joining could help doctors learn more about liver healing.
This trial uses registry data to build better prediction models for people who receive a liver transplant from a living donor. It may help doctors understand who will have the best results.
This study looks at stored medical data from living liver donors to better understand fat in the liver (steatosis). It may help improve future transplant care.
This trial is testing a new way to see how well patients do after a liver transplant. It includes people with severe cirrhosis, other end-stage liver diseases, or liver cancer.
This study uses an MRI scan to look at the bile ducts in healthy people who want to donate part of their liver. The goal is to see if the scan can help predict and prevent bile duct problems for the person receiving the liver.
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.
