Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
2. To develop non-invasive diagnosis marker for NASH and advanced fibrosis
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a multicenter prospective study of patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD. The patients were underwent laboratory test, liver biopsy, MRI and TE within 6 months of enrollment. MRI examination included MR spectroscopy (MRS), and MR elastography (MRE). TE measured liver stiffness and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP).
