NCT ID NCT04591106
First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to perform MRI and MRE scans on children that doesn't require holding their breath. Standard scans can be hard for kids, especially those with liver disease. The researchers compared the new free-breathing method to the standard one in 135 children to see if it works just as well for measuring liver fat and stiffness, which helps diagnose fatty liver disease and liver scarring.
