Effect of Thoracic Diameter and Food Intake on Fibroscan® Results

NCT03947359 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 53

Last updated 2021-02-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims to deliver scientific data regarding the accuracy of the two different-sized Fibroscan® probes on patients with different thoracic diameter to gain more knowledge of the handling and measuring quality of the Fibroscan® as a diagnostic device and also to see if one probe is enough to measure a wider spectrum of patients leading to cost reduction for equipment such as additional probes.

Furthermore the study aims to analyze the effect of food intake on liver-stiffness measurements with the S-probe on children to shorten fasting periods. It is hypothesized that the fasting periods before a Fibroscan® measurement may be shortened, which is of special importance in smaller children.
