Liver Micro Flow - MRI

Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study integrates and evaluates a series of novel MRI methods for quantifying blood perfusion and tissue microstructure. The proposed perfusion and microstructure measures may provide biomarkers for fibrosis, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and response to treatment. The precision of these methods will be evaluated in 110 participants, including healthy volunteers, people with chronic liver disease (CLD), and people with liver fibrosis.

Official title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-Based Quantification of Perfusion and Microstructure

DEVICE

Novel MRI Software

* Each study visit will last approximately 2 hours * The visit will include approximately 1 hour of MR imaging * Participants will be asked to fast for 5 hours prior to the research visit

OTHER

Ensure Plus Nutrition Shake

A subset of participants (N=15 with portal hypertension and N=15 without portal hypertension) from the Liver Fibrosis Cohort will be imaged in the fasted state, then exit the scanner where they will be asked to drink two Ensure Plus Nutrition shake. After a 20-minute delay, each subject will re-enter the scanner for additional imaging.
