First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 211 people with liver cirrhosis to see which screening method works better for detecting liver cancer: an ultrasound every 6 months or an MRI once a year. Participants received both tests, and researchers measured how often each test correctly found cancer. The goal is to find the most effective way to catch liver cancer early in high-risk patients.
