IRM Stéatose: Quantitative and Qualitative MRI Study of Steatosis in Patients With Metabolic Steatopathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a single centre prospective open-label, non-randomised pilot study whose aim is to identify MRI parameters to better evaluate inflammation and liver fibrosis and thus, in the near future, to avoid the need for liver biopsy.
To achieve this:
-
The MRI study will be completed by adding two sequences: Measurement of T1 and multiecho T2*. The other data will be extracted from usual sequences.
-
Part of the histological samples will be used for the weighted levels of fat and iron, and for the lipidomic study.
-
Usual blood samples will be completed by samples for the serum library

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To determine a correlation coefficient > 0.80, alpha 0.05 and beta 0.20 between the MRI markers relevant. [Baselines]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To determine the correlation between the unsaturated fat measurements and MRI Lipidomics Spectro analysis. [Baselines]
