New scan could spare kids painful liver biopsies
NCT ID NCT06218589
Summary
This study is testing a new, non-invasive ultrasound device called Velacur to see if it can accurately detect fatty liver disease in children and teens. Researchers want to see if this quick, bedside test can work as well as current gold-standard methods like MRI or liver biopsy, which are more invasive, expensive, and less accessible. The goal is to find a better, easier way to screen for and monitor this common childhood liver condition.
