NCT ID NCT04288323

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a shorter, contrast-enhanced MRI (called AMRI) is better than standard ultrasound for finding liver cancer early in people with cirrhosis. 79 adults with cirrhosis underwent both scans, and researchers compared how accurately each method detected cancer. The goal is to improve screening and catch liver cancer sooner.
