New scan could replace painful liver biopsies for Alcohol-Related disease

NCT ID NCT03113929

Summary

This study is testing a special type of MRI scan to see if it can accurately measure how severe alcoholic liver disease is, without needing a painful biopsy. Researchers will scan 20 adults with the disease to look for specific signs in the liver. The goal is to find a better, non-invasive way to track the disease, which could help future drug trials.
