7.0T MRI study for hepatic encephalopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a powerful MRI scanner to look at the brain in people with hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that can cause confusion and other brain problems when the liver doesn't work well. The goal is to better understand brain changes, which might lead to better diagnosis and treatment in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a very powerful 7-Tesla MRI machine to take detailed pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to better understand changes in the brain and possibly find new ways to track the disease.
This study looks at how liver disease affects the body's fluids and gut bacteria, especially when a person has a mild form of liver-related confusion called hepatic encephalopathy. It may help doctors find better ways to detect and treat this condition.
This study tests a new type of MRI that can look at the liver in more detail. It compares images from people with liver cancer and healthy people to see if it can help doctors better understand or detect the disease.
This study checks whether a stronger MRI scan (7-tesla) can help diagnose and better understand ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. You would be scanned about 7 days after your injury to compare results with typical care.
This study looks at how memory changes over time in people with Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It uses advanced brain scans to understand the disease better.
This study looks at how patients with hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that affects the brain due to liver problems, engage with their care. It may help improve support for people newly diagnosed with this condition.
