About this study
This is a qualitative study to determine which factors affect the patient experience of having a liver MRI, what information patients would like to receive after their MRI, and how patients would like this information communicated to them.
Read the detailed description
This is a qualitative study to determine which factors affect the patient experience of having a liver MRI, what information patients would like to receive after their MRI, and how patients would like this information communicated to them. Each individual will receive at least an MRI scan (LiverMultiScan), with many also receiving a FibroScan (Transient Elastography). Patients will then undergo a focused qualitative interview, as well as filling out a questionnaire. The interviews will be thematically analysed and trends identified by significance.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MRIDevice
Also called LiverMultiScan
Transient ElastographyDevice
Also called FibroScan
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experience of liver disease | This is defined as either those who have had direct experience of liver disease as sufferers, or the carers of those who have had liver disease. Each individual receives an MRI (LiverMultiScan), with many also receiving a FibroScan. Receives: Device: MRI; Device: Transient Elastography |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Factors effecting MRI experience and understanding.
This will be analysed based on themes and trends emanating from answers within the focused interview and questionnaire following the scan, and results feedback.
Measured: Immediately (within 1 hour) after undergoing the MRI scan, and receiving results feedback.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Comparison of MRI to ultrasound scan in terms of patient experience.
This will be analysed based on themes and trends emanating from answers within the focused interview and questionnaire following the scan, and results feedback.
Measured: Immediately (within 1 hour) after undergoing an MRI scan, and ultrasound (FibroScan) scan.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Factors effecting MRI experience and understanding. (time frame: Immediately (within 1 hour) after undergoing the MRI scan, and receiving results feedback.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02877602, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
