Evaluation of a New Ultrasound System for the Non-invasive Assessment of Liver Steatosis in MASLD/MASH Patients
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Liver ultrasound: Hepatoscope is a point of care ultraportable ultrasound device that is capable of conventional grayscale ultrasound imaging, of 2D transient elastography (imaging + liver stiffness measurement), and of quantitative ultrasound properties measurement (ultrasound attenuation, backscattering coefficient, sound speed) related to liver steatosis.
Study summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate an ultraportable ultrasound device, Hepatoscope, for the non-invasive assessment of hepatic steatosis in patients with metabolic-dysfunction associated liver diseases (MASLD), by comparing its measurements with current diagnostic modalities, such as MRI-PDFF.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Correlation with MRI PDFF — At a maximum of 6 months from enrollment
Spearman correlation coefficients between each Hepatoscope measurement (ATT, BSC and SOS) and MRI-PDFF measurements will be calculated. The confidence interval will be estimated with an alpha risk of 0,017 (Bonferroni adjustment, overal alpha risk of 0,05). Each correlation will be compared to the lowest acceptable threshold D = 0,50 with a Fisher Z test, with an alpha risk de 0,017.
