Research summary
This will be an observational study designed to assess different aspects of the repeatability and reproducibility of multiparametric MRI. Participants will be recruited with a range of values of liver fat, iron and fibroinflammatory status, as determined by previous liver imaging studies.
Once on site participants will undergo 4 MR-sequences in 2 different MRI scanners - spending approximately 10 minutes in each scanner for a total scanning time of approximately 20 minutes. The sequences used are already CE-marked and FDA-cleared. The images and values from the different scans will then be compared with each other to determine whether they are reproduced reliably in different scans and on different scanners.
