Analyzing non-invasive methods for liver lesions in cirrhosis patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on the non-invasive characterization of focal liver lesions in patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. It employs multiparametric ultrasound imaging and evaluates sarcopenia parameters to assess the diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of these non-invasive methods. The primary endpoint involves comparing the results to established gold standards such as CT, MRI, or histology, while the secondary endpoint examines the predictive value concerning mortality and treatment response. All procedures follow standard care protocols.
