Could a longer MRI scan predict liver cancer in NASH patients?

NCT ID NCT05165446

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a new, non-invasive MRI technique that measures liver stiffness and viscosity to identify NASH patients at higher risk for liver cancer. About 35 adults with NASH and early-stage liver scarring will undergo a longer MRI scan (40 minutes vs. 25). The goal is to see if this method can reliably detect risk factors, not to treat the disease.
