NCT02575625

Brief Summary

Hypothesis of this study is the existence of a relation between parameters measured by FibroScan® FS 502 according to our non invasive method and liver steatosis condition. This proof of concept validation is made up of two steps:

  • Step 1: feasibility study of the method on 10 healthy volunteers
  • Step 2: diagnosis study on 50 healthy volunteers (25 between 18-30 years-old and 25 between 40-65 years-old) and on 25 patients whom cares including an liver biopsy et whom the histological answer is clean steatosis (NAFLD). Experimental procedures consist in:
  • Fibroscan measure, preceded by tracking ultrasonography.
  • liver MRI (for substudy about MRI comparison, in step 2)
  • a blood test for biological assessment of liver functions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Viscosity in Pa.s

    Digital files recorded by medical device will be mathematically processed for extracting elasticity G' and viscosity G'' curves in accordance with the frequency. These curves use to identify the 5 parameters: mu(M), eta(M), alpha, mu(V), eta(V); which describe visco-elasticity variations with frequency thanks to an Matlab algorithm

EXPERIMENTAL

Step 1: feasibility study of the method on 10 healthy volunteers Step 2: diagnosis study on 50 healthy volunteers (25 between 18-30 years-old and 25 between 40-65 years-old) and on 25 patients whom cares including an hepatic biopsy et whom the histological answer is clean steatosis (NAFLD). Experimental procedures consist in: * Fibroscan measure, preceded by tracking sonography. * liver MRI (for substudy about MRI comparison, in step 2) * a blood test for biological assessment of liver functions
