Ultrasound test for liver fat
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing a new ultrasound method to measure fat in the liver. It is for people who may have a liver condition or have risk factors like diabetes or obesity, as well as healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults 18 to 75 years old
- Diagnosed with or suspected of having MASLD (liver disease), OR have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity
- Can have an MRI and ultrasound scan (no metal implants or severe claustrophobia)
- No history of heavy drinking or drug use in the past 2 years
- No other known liver diseases, cirrhosis, or active cancer

This study explores if a new ultrasound technique can detect fatty liver disease in children. It aims to find a simpler, safer way to check liver health without needing an MRI or biopsy.
This study looks at a new non-invasive screening method to predict metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. The goal is to help identify people who may be at risk without needing invasive tests.
This study tests a new device called LiverScope® that scans your liver to detect fatty liver disease (MASLD). The scan uses special imaging technology and may help doctors diagnose liver disease more quickly and accurately.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the liver and help classify a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose this condition.
This study tests a new ultrasound device that uses sound waves to measure fat in the liver without needles or surgery. It is for people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD or MASH, who are already getting an MRI to check their liver.
This study compares ultrasound (DeepUSFF) and MRI (MRI-PDFF) for measuring liver fat in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It aims to see if ultrasound can be used as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to MRI.
