Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a qualitative study to determine which factors affect the patient experience of having a liver MRI, what information patients would like to receive after their MRI, and how patients would like this information communicated to them.
Detailed Description
This is a qualitative study to determine which factors affect the patient experience of having a liver MRI, what information patients would like to receive after their MRI, and how patients would like this information communicated to them. Each individual will receive at least an MRI scan (LiverMultiScan), with many also receiving a FibroScan (Transient Elastography). Patients will then undergo a focused qualitative interview, as well as filling out a questionnaire. The interviews will be thematically analysed and trends identified by significance.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Factors effecting MRI experience and understanding.
Time Frame: Immediately (within 1 hour) after undergoing the MRI scan, and receiving results feedback.
This will be analysed based on themes and trends emanating from answers within the focused interview and questionnaire following the scan, and results feedback.
Secondary Outcomes
- Comparison of MRI to ultrasound scan in terms of patient experience.(Immediately (within 1 hour) after undergoing an MRI scan, and ultrasound (FibroScan) scan.)
