Summary

This study tests a new, non-invasive method using near-infrared light to diagnose and measure fat buildup in the liver. It aims to replace the current standard of a liver biopsy, which is invasive and can vary between doctors. The study will include 90 liver grafts and surgical samples from adults. If successful, this tool could help doctors quickly and accurately assess liver health, especially for transplant patients.
