Summary

This study is testing whether a special MRI scan called cT1 can accurately diagnose NASH (a serious liver disease) without needing a needle biopsy. About 225 adults who are already scheduled for a liver biopsy will also get this scan. If the scan works well, it could offer a safer, less painful way to diagnose and monitor NASH in the future.
