About this trial

How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to compare the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to two demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE) to establish a risk stratification system and perform tailored management for portal hypertension in cirrhosis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

age > 18 years old

confirmed cirrhosis (laboratory, imaging and clinical symptoms)

with 3D-MRE and 2D-MRE within 1 month prior to HVPG measurement

written informed consent

Disqualifiers

any previous liver or spleen surgery

liver cancer; chronic acute liver failure

acute portal hypertension

unreliable HVPG, 3D-MRE or 2D-MRE results due to technical reasons

Trial population

Organize paticipating units to collect standard-of-care data including radiological and clinical data. Patients diagnosed with cirrhosis who received HVPG measurement, 3D-MRE and 2D-MRE should be enrolled

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 3D-MRE

    Device

    All imaging studies were performed by using a 3.0-T MRI system (Signa HDx, GE Healthcare) with an eight-channel phasedarray body coil.

  • HVPG

    Device

    HVPG measurements are performed by well-trained interventional radiologists in accordance with standard operating procedures

  • 2D-MRE

    Device

    All imaging studies were performed by using a 3.0-T MRI system (Signa HDx, GE Healthcare) with an eight-channel phasedarray body coil.

  • HVPG

    Device

    HVPG measurements are performed by well-trained interventional radiologists in accordance with standard operating procedures
