Evaluation of the Severity of Hepatic Fibrosis by Magnetic Resonance Elastography in the Diagnosis of Endogenous Hypercorticism
The main hypothesis of the HEPACORT study is that upon diagnosis of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, significant liver fibrosis may be present, particularly in the most severe forms of Cushing's syndrome. the HEPACORT study is the first exploratory study to assess the severity of liver fibrosis in patients with Cushing's syndrome or suspected of presenting by Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE).
