Chinese PLA General Hospital (301 Hospital)

Status: Not yet enrolling

Conditions: MRI; fMRI Research; Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE)

Treatments: Other: 7.0T MRI-Scan

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

Hepatic encephalopathy-301

Details and patient eligibility

About

This clinical trial study aims to detect the imaging characteristics of patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) using 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Full description

In this study, we analyzed the imaging characteristics of HE. First, with the advantages of 7TMRI, we analyzed the differences in imaging characteristics between HE patients and the healthy, including brain functional imaging and structural imaging. Second, we analyzed the differences in imaging characteristics between different subgroups of HE patients. Finally, we analyzed the correlation between the prognostic results of HE patients after follow-up and the imaging characteristics.

Enrollment: 200 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 89 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
