Background & Aims Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement is currently the only validated technique to accurately evaluate changes in portal pressure. In this study, we evaluate the use of non-contrast quantitative magnetic resonance i... Read More about Non-invasive assessment of portal hypertension using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging.

Biomarkers of liver fibrosis (2016)
Journal Article
Morling, J. R., & Guha, I. N. (in press). Biomarkers of liver fibrosis. Clinical Liver Disease, 7(6), https://doi.org/10.1002/cld.555

Currently the only accepted method (gold standard) for the diagnosis of the fibrotic stages of chronic liver disease (CLD) is liver biopsy, to allow histological assessment. Liver biopsy is an invasive investigation associated with a range adverse ev... Read More about Biomarkers of liver fibrosis.

Liver International, 36(11), 1639-1648. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.13152

Background & Aims Screening for oesophageal varices (OV) using conventional oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (C-OGD) is invasive and requires costly monitoring, recovery, and decontamination facilities. We aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility, acc...
