MR 7700 Multinuclear Application Clinical Study

January 20, 2026 updated by: Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global
The purpose of this clinical study is to perform phosphorus nucleus (31P) and sodium nucleus (23Na) imaging of the liver in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and healthy volunteers using the MR 7700 Magnetic Resonance Equipment, in order to explore the manifestations of multinuclear imaging in HCC patients and healthy volunteers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ratio of metabolites (PME/PDE)
Time Frame: 14 days (anticipated)] after finishing 31P-MRS scanning

By comparing the ratios of metabolites (PME/PDE) in the liver, the effectiveness of 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) was evaluated.

Theoretically,the PME/PDE ratio in patients with HCC was higher than that in healthy volunteers.

14 days (anticipated)] after finishing 31P-MRS scanning
Image quality of 23Na-MRI
Time Frame: 14 days (anticipated)] after finishing 23Na-MRI scanning
Image quality will be assessed by Likert score (1-5)
14 days (anticipated)] after finishing 23Na-MRI scanning
Adverse Event
Time Frame: From the time the subjects signed the ICF to completion of study visit(1 day).
Monitor adverse events and serious adverse events during the study,summarize and analyze the frequency and percentage of all adverse events (including severe adverse events)
From the time the subjects signed the ICF to completion of study visit(1 day).
