NCT ID NCT04429100

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

Summary

This study tests a new, fast MRI technique that measures collagen in the liver to detect scarring (fibrosis) without a needle biopsy. Researchers will compare the MRI results with standard tests in 200 adults with liver disease and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable way to diagnose early-stage liver fibrosis.
