Hepatic Fibrosis Assessment Using Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Fibrosis
Cirrhosis
Interventions
Procedure: magnetic resonance imaging
Registration Number
NCT02480972
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess degree of hepatic fibrosis using multiparametric MRI for investigating difference between normal or early fibrosis and advanced fibrosis.

Detailed Description

In patients with liver parenchymal disease or normal liver parenchyma who are scheduled to undergo either liver resection or liver biopsy are included.

Referred patients undergo multiparametric MRI including perfusion, diffusion, elastography and fat quantification before surgery or biopsy.

The pathophysiologic changes are evaluated using multiparametric MRI, and compared between normal/early fibrosis and advanced fibrosis.
