Multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Precise Diagnosis and Quantitative Study of Liver Steatosis, Inflammation, and Fibrosis in Chronic Liver Disease.
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Liver Stiffness
In brief
To construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve the degree of liver damage is an important general problem in the management of patients with chronic liver disease. The investigators would like to develop non invasive advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques (MR elastography, MRI-PDFF) to assess the degree of liver damage in patients with chronic liver disease. These techniques could reach high diagnostic performance for detection of liver fibrosis, inflammation and liver fat content; and could decrease the number of liver biopsies, which have risks and sample only a small portion of the liver.
