Interventions

  • Investigational Liver Fat Quantification Software — DEVICE
    All subjects enrolled in this study will undergo two abdominal ultrasound examinations using the investigational Liver Fat Quantification feature on the Philips EPIQ Ultrasound System. In addition, all subjects will also undergo one MRI-PDFF examination according to the clinical standard of care.

Study Details

This clinical study will involve performing a series of medical imaging procedures of the abdomen using both ultrasound and MRI modalities in subjects at risk for or already diagnosed with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility of an investigational ultrasound technique for quantifying liver fat by comparing specific ultrasound-derived biomarkers with the liver fat percentage obtained from MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) measurements. All subjects enrolled in this study will undergo two investigational abdominal ultrasound examinations using the Philips EPIQ Ultrasound System and one MRI PDFF examination according to the clinical standard of care.
