September 2015 | RSNA News 12 YOUR DONATIONS IN ACTION Research Explores Non-invasive Monitoring of Liver Inflammation and Fibrosis Liver fibrosis—an important worldwide health problem if left unchecked = can progress to cirrhosis and corresponding portal hypertension and liver failure. Cirrhosis is also a major risk factor for devel- opment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing fibrosis, but is inva- sive and subject to sampling errors. With a 2014-2016 Mallinckrodt/RSNA Research Scholar Grant, Michael A. Ohliger, M.D., Ph.D., seeks to develop new hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI methods to monitor the progression of inflammation and fibrosis using clini- cal MRI scanners. “The techniques developed in this study can be directly translated into human studies; a 13C-labeled compound ([1-13C] pyruvate) has already been tested in humans,” Dr. Ohliger said. “Data will be used to gain further funding and regulatory approval to bring hyper- polarized 13C techniques in the clinic, providing new tools to help patients with chronic liver disease.”
