Study Summary
This trial is testing whether CT1 can help distinguish patients with suspected NASH who have NAS≥4 & F≥2 from those without.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who are scheduled for a liver biopsy and have risk factors like high body weight, diabetes, or abnormal blood fats. People with other chronic liver diseases, recent substance abuse, MRI contraindications like claustrophobia or metal implants, severe obesity, or certain medical conditions can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The N-QUAN trial is testing the 'Liver Multi Scan' technology to see how well it identifies patients with significant levels of both fat and scarring in their livers compared to standard biopsies. It's focused on those suspected of having NAFLD/NASH.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves a Liver Multi Scan which is an imaging technique similar to an MRI scan, there are generally no direct side effects from the scan itself. However, discomfort due to lying still during scanning may occur.
