What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simpler, cheaper way to diagnose fatty liver disease using standard ultrasound machines.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed comparison study with only 25 participants. The software may not be as accurate as the Fibroscan, and results may not apply to all patients.
