NCT ID NCT03542578
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound done right in the doctor's office can help diagnose fatty liver disease early. Researchers will compare the bedside scan results with standard radiology imaging in 500 patients. If it works, it could make diagnosis faster and more convenient.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could make fatty liver diagnosis faster and more accessible during routine clinic visits, reducing the need for separate radiology appointments.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The bedside ultrasound may not be as accurate as standard imaging, and results may vary by patient or operator.
