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 a computer program to look at heart ultrasound images already taken during regular care. The program finds people who might have hidden liver problems like fatty liver or liver scarring, so they can get more testing and early help.
This study checks if a simple blood test (LIVERFASt) can accurately measure liver fat and scarring compared to MRI. It may help patients avoid more invasive tests in the future.
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
