3D-MRE and 2D-MRE for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension

This study looks at a new way to check for problems in the liver called cirrhosis and a related issue, portal hypertension. These conditions can make someone really sick. Researchers will use two methods, 3D-MRE and 2D-MRE, which are special scans that don't hurt, to see how well they can predict liver problems compared to an older, more invasive test called HVPG. Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measures the pressure in the liver's veins and helps doctors understand the seriousness of liver disease. These scans help doctors avoid using more painful methods like liver biopsies. The study is important for managing liver diseases in places like China, where many people suffer from liver issues.

• Participants must be over 18 and already have cirrhosis, with recent 3D-MRE and 2D-MRE scans.
• The study will not include anyone with recent liver surgeries or unreliable scan results.
• Participants will need to provide written consent to join the study.
