About this study
The goal of this study is to use our Thermoacoustic Enhanced Ultrasound device to measure the fat levels in your liver and compare it to the the gold standard MRI PDFF measurements. Participants will have a scan with our device, then they will go have an abdominal MRI completed. The goal is to create a more accessible device to measure liver fat as it is an indicator for overall health and metabolic diseases.
