New portable scanner could replace needle biopsies for fatty liver disease
NCT ID NCT07518784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new, portable device called LiverScope that uses magnetic fields to check the liver for disease, similar to an MRI but smaller and easier to use. Researchers want to see if LiverScope gives the same results as a standard MRI. About 26 adults with a type of fatty liver disease (MASLD) will have one visit that includes a LiverScope scan, an MRI, and a blood draw.
