adiology, according to the researchers. "Partly this is because of the prevailing radiology paradigm and partly this is because most third-party insurers refuse to pay for two contrast agents," said Dr. Sirlin.

Other potential advantages of CCE MR, say the researchers, include that CCE MRI can directly visualize the fibrosis, it has a safety profile higher than biopsy, it can detect liver cancers simultaneously, the procedure is repeatable and the possibility that CCE MRI may be more accurate than any other non-invasive method for assessing liver fibrosis.

The full results of the study will be presented on Monday, May 1, 2006 during the American Roentgen Ray Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC.
