Summary

This study checks if a quick ultrasound called Velacur can accurately detect fatty liver disease (MASLD) in children aged 2 to 20. About 200 kids with suspected liver issues will get the ultrasound, and results will be compared to MRI or liver biopsy. The goal is to find a faster, painless way to diagnose this condition in a clinic.
