14-Second scan could replace painful liver biopsies

NCT ID NCT05384652

Summary

This study is testing a new type of MRI scan designed to diagnose a serious form of fatty liver disease called NASH. The goal is to see if this quick, 14-second scan can accurately measure liver fat, inflammation, and scarring without needing a painful needle biopsy. Researchers will compare the scan results from 120 patients with fatty liver disease to their biopsy results to see how well the new method works.
