Summary

This study was designed to see if a new device that uses sound waves (thermo-acoustic imaging) can accurately measure fat in the liver. It planned to compare the device's results with standard MRI scans in adults with or suspected of having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
