Definition of cirrhosis by any of following methods;
1) Histologically by liver biopsy
2) Non-histologically by evidence of portal hypertension in the presence of chronic liver disease
Evidence of portal hypertension includes any of followings;
(1) The identification of splenomegaly on Ultrasonography, CT, or MRI examinations with typical features of liver cirrhosis
(2) The identification of esophageal or gastric varices on endoscopic examination
2. Older than 20 years of age
3. Absence of previous or current history of hepatocellular carcinoma within 6 months prior to screening
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2
5. Patient is able to comply with scheduled visits, evaluation plans, and other study procedures.

1. Active or suspected cancer other than hepatocellular carcinoma, or a history of malignancy where the risk of recurrence is equal or higher than 20% within 2 years
2. Significant medical comorbidities in which survival is predicted to be less than 3 years
3. Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73m^2
(1) Estimated glomerular filtration rate by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation = 175 × serum creatinine-1.154 × age-0.203 × 1.212 (if black) × 0.742 (if female)
4. Budd-Chiari Syndrome
5. Precautions for MRI (cardiac pacemaker, severe claustrophobia that may interfere with protocol compliance)
