Summary

This study tested a new ultrasound feature that measures liver fat and compared it to the standard MRI method. About 60 adults with or at risk for fatty liver disease had two ultrasounds and one MRI. The goal was to see if the ultrasound could accurately estimate liver fat, which might lead to a simpler, cheaper way to monitor the condition.
