U.S., July 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07716384) titled 'Wearable Patch Ultrasound Probe for Diagnosis of Liver Stiffness' on July 13.
Brief Summary: Liver stiffness measurement is a key non-invasive tool for assessing liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver disease. Transient elastography (FibroScan) is currently the most widely used non-invasive reference standard, but it requires a dedicated device and trained operator, which may limit its accessibility in some clinical settings. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel wearable patch-type ultrasound probe for detecting significant liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, using FibroScan as the reference ...
