Summary
This study tested a new ultrasound feature that measures liver fat in children and teens (ages 5-21) with or at risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Researchers compared the ultrasound results to standard MRI scans to see if the simpler, cheaper method works well. The goal was to see if ultrasound can reliably detect liver fat, potentially reducing the need for MRI in the future.
