Quantitative Ultrasound(DeepUSFF) vs MRI-PDFF for Liver Fat Assessment in MASLD (NCT07192159)

Evaluation of a Quantitative Ultrasound Model(DeepUSFF) for Liver Fat Quantification in Patients With Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Multicenter Prospective Study Using MRI-PDFF as the Reference Standard

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
