NCT ID NCT01082419

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new ultrasound method called ARFI to measure liver stiffness in 109 people, including healthy volunteers and patients with liver conditions. The goal was to see how consistent the measurements are and how they differ between healthy and diseased livers. This is an observational study, not a treatment, so it helps doctors better understand liver stiffness patterns.
