Summary
This study looks at whether a special MRI scan can safely rule out high-risk varices (enlarged veins that can bleed) in people with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis. Instead of using a camera tube down the throat (endoscopy), researchers will test an MRI-based model. If it works, many patients could avoid an invasive test and still get reliable results.
