Clinical Studies

Assessing Renal Health in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease with Multiparametric Hepatorenal MRE/MRI (Hepatorenogram) (Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this research is to use advanced 3D kidney MRE imaging for detecting or characterizing hepatorenal syndrome processes, providing capabilities unavailable with other imaging techniques or serum biomarkers.

Test-Retest Repeatability Study of Free-Breathing Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) of the Liver in Healthy Volunteers and Its Longitudinal Application in Patients with Chronic Liver Diseases Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to implement a free-breathing hepatic MRE technique capable of being performed in as little as 0.8 seconds per slice which could significantly reduce the breath-hold requirements for typical MRE exams, establish a rapid imaging protocol, and improve clinical patient throughput.
