Summary
This study is testing a new, non-invasive MRI technique (4D flow MRI) to detect dangerous varices in the esophagus and stomach of people with cirrhosis. Currently, patients need an endoscopy—a tube down the throat—to check for these varices, which can burst and cause fatal bleeding. If successful, this MRI could replace the need for many endoscopies, making screening safer and easier for patients.
