NCT ID NCT07656181

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study gathers international experts to agree on what makes a high-quality contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of the liver. Using a Delphi process, they will rate and refine quality indicators. The goal is to create a standardized tool for assessing image quality, improving consistency in diagnosis and research.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to standardized quality criteria and a rating tool for liver CEUS exams, helping doctors get clearer and more reliable images.

What could go wrong

This is a small expert consensus study (35 participants), not a clinical trial testing a treatment. The results may not be widely adopted or may need further validation.
