New scan could spare kids painful liver biopsies
NCT ID NCT01072721
Summary
This study tested a new, gentle scanning method (called elastometry) to measure liver scarring (fibrosis) in children. The goal was to see if this scan could be as accurate as a standard liver biopsy, which is invasive and painful. If successful, this scan could help doctors monitor liver disease in kids without needing frequent biopsies.
