First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special ultrasound technique can accurately measure liver fat in children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. About 90 kids aged 6-17, who were overweight or had type 2 diabetes, received both an ultrasound and an MRI. The goal was to see if the ultrasound results matched the MRI, which is the standard but more expensive and time-consuming method.
