Validation Study of Magnetic Resonance Elastography and 2-Point Dixon MR Imaging Techniques in Diffuse Liver Disease
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Magnetic Resonance Elastogram and 2-Point Dixon Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Liver Cancer. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to test the accuracy of magnetic resonance elastogram (MRE) and 2-point dixon magnetic resonance imaging (2PD MRI) using new computer software (called "phase correction algorithm") in patients who might have liver disease.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Pneumatic driver will be placed over the upper abdomen. Patient will feel a vibration (like a cell phone or beeper vibrating). This vibration will create very small waves in the body. The scanner will then receive the vibrations from the liver and use them to create images of the liver tissue.
Imaging performed after the MRE procedure and lasting 20-60 seconds. This procedure is useful in identifying fat tissue.
