New scan aims to spot liver scarring earlier

NCT ID NCT06252610

Summary

This study is testing a new type of combined PET/MRI scan to see if it can better detect and measure scarring (fibrosis) in the bile ducts of people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Researchers will compare the new scan results to a standard liver stiffness test (FibroScan) in 10 participants. The goal is to improve non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of this liver disease.
