First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a combined PET/MRI scan can detect and measure liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Ten participants will receive two experimental tracers that bind to scar tissue, and results will be compared to standard tests like FibroScan. The goal is to improve non-invasive diagnosis and avoid the need for liver biopsies.
