NCT ID NCT07495332
First seen Apr 03, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study aims to see if newer CT and ultrasound techniques can accurately detect fat and scarring in the liver, compared to the current gold standard, MRI. About 45 adults with liver disease will receive a special CT scan, an MRI, and an ultrasound. If successful, these methods could offer faster, cheaper, and more accessible ways to diagnose fatty liver disease without needing a biopsy.
