PET imaging test for people with liver injury
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new PET imaging agent called ¹⁸F-DFA to see if it can measure liver damage and liver failure. It may help doctors better understand your liver condition using a specialized scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 80 years old
- Diagnosed with liver damage (for example, based on abnormal liver enzyme levels in your blood)
- Diagnosed with liver failure (severe liver damage causing symptoms like extreme tiredness, yellowing skin or eyes, bleeding problems, or confusion)
- Able to give informed consent and follow the study plan

This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see how well systemic therapy is working in people with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to find a better way to measure treatment effectiveness.
This study tests whether a new type of PET/CT scan can measure liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease. It might help doctors check liver damage without needing repeated biopsies.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brain related to fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand how liver health affects brain function.
This study tests a special PET scan that uses a new tracer to help see fibrosis (scarring) in the body. It may help doctors better understand and manage conditions like lung or liver fibrosis.
This study tests a new imaging tracer to better see liver cancer on PET scans, which might help doctors find or monitor tumors more accurately.
This study tests whether a combined PET/MRI scan can better find and see liver tumors or cancer that has spread to the liver. If you are eligible, you will get this special imaging test, which may help doctors diagnose and plan your treatment more accurately.
