Simple scan may spot hidden fatty pancreas risk
NCT ID NCT07255989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a quick, non-invasive scan called FibroScan can diagnose fatty pancreas, a condition usually found with MRI or ultrasound. Researchers studied 50 adults aged 30–70, with or without obesity or diabetes. The goal was to see if FibroScan could be a simpler, one-stop tool to check both liver and pancreas fat and fibrosis.
