About this trial

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.
