Summary
This study was designed to test a new device that uses sound and heat to measure fat in the liver. It would compare the device's accuracy to standard MRI scans in adults with or suspected of having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The goal was to see if this simpler method could reliably diagnose the condition. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants.
