Summary
This study checks if new MRI and ultrasound techniques can accurately measure liver fat in children ages 10-14, both those with obesity and those at a healthy weight. The goal is to see if these painless imaging methods work well for diagnosing fatty liver disease (NAFLD) without needing a biopsy. About 24 children will take part to help improve early detection.
