New ultrasound software could simplify fatty liver diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07268937
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether special software on standard ultrasound machines can accurately measure liver fat in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers compared the ultrasound results to the Fibroscan CAP method in 25 adults. The goal was to see if the ultrasound software could be a simpler, non-invasive tool for diagnosing fatty liver.
