Comparing ultrasound liver measurements with fibroscan
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound during an endoscopic procedure to measure liver stiffness and fat, and compares it to a standard FibroScan. It aims to see if the new method works as well for people with normal liver health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have a FibroScan (a non-invasive test that checks liver stiffness) on the same day as your endoscopic ultrasound.
- Your FibroScan results must show a normal liver stiffness and a normal fat measurement.
- You must not have known liver disease, hepatitis B or C, or heavy alcohol use.
- You must not have serious liver complications, like fluid in the belly or blood clots in the liver.
- You must not be pregnant or have had prior liver surgery.

This study uses a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, to measure liver stiffness during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure. It aims to see how well this new method detects liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease, compared to standard tests like FibroScan and liver biopsy.
This study compares two non-invasive ultrasound methods (EUS-SWQ and FibroScan) with liver biopsy to see how well they detect liver scarring in patients with chronic liver disease. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and monitor liver damage from conditions like hepatitis B and fatty liver disease.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to measure liver stiffness using a device called FibroScan. It aims to make liver checkups easier and more comfortable for people with liver disease.
This study tests a new wearable patch that uses ultrasound to measure liver stiffness without needing a permanent probe. It could be a more comfortable and convenient way to check your liver health, and results will be compared to the standard FibroScan test.
This trial tests a special ultrasound technique during an endoscopy to see how well it can detect changes in the liver from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help improve non-invasive assessment before or alongside a follow-up liver biopsy.
This study uses a simple ultrasound-based test (FibroScan) to check liver stiffness and predict whether you have high pressure in the veins around the liver. It aims to see if a new set of criteria can safely tell who needs an endoscopy, helping avoid unnecessary procedures.
