Validation of an Ultrasound Score for Fatty Pancreas

Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to validate an ultrasound scoring system for the assessment of fatty pancreas by comparing it with the current reference standard, magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). The study will also investigate clinical and laboratory parameters associated with fatty pancreas as potential biomarkers of disease severity and evaluate the relationship between pancreatic fat accumulation, glucose tolerance and pancreatic β-cell function.
