Summary
This study checks if a special ultrasound called Velacur can accurately detect fatty liver disease (MASLD) in children aged 2 to 20. About 200 kids will get the quick, painless scan, and results will be compared to MRI or liver biopsy. The goal is to find a safer, faster way to diagnose this condition without needles or sedation.
