Compares treatment options for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease
Official title Quantitative Ultrasound(DeepUSFF) vs MRI-PDFF for Liver Fat Assessment in MASLD
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07192159
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This multicenter prospective study aims to evaluate the correlation between quantitative ultrasound fat fraction (USFF) and MRI-PDFF (Proton Density Fat Fraction) for liver fat quantification in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study will compare the diagnostic accuracy of quantitative ultrasound imaging against MRI-PDFF as the reference standard.
