Evaluate Patients With Chronic Hepatitis by Three-dimensional

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Ultrasound (US) B mode image is an alternative method to measure tissue structure and has proven to be an accurate technique to measure subcutaneous fat thickness. However, pressing the transducer onto the skin with too much force will significantly reduce the subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness. In this study, a force controlled system combined with US transducer was used for 3D subcutaneous fat imaging and reconstruction.

Clinical Trial Description

The diagnosis of fatty liver (steatosis) is made when fat in the liver exceeds 5-10% by weight. Fatty liver (FL) is commonly associated with alcohol or metabolic syndrome (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia), but can also be due to any one of many causes. Most people were detected from serum lipid abnormalities in the physical examination, and confirmed as the fatty liver disease by ultrasound imaging. In some previous studies, ultrasound was reported to provide an accurate and reliable measurement tool for the thickness measurements of subcutaneous adipose tissue. This method can overcome some limitations of the skinfold thickness measurements. Ultrasound (US) B mode image is an alternative method to measure tissue structure and has proven to be an accurate technique to measure subcutaneous fat thickness. However, pressing the transducer onto the skin with too much force will significantly reduce the subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness. In this study, a force controlled system combined with US transducer was used for 3D subcutaneous fat imaging and reconstruction. Finally, the correlations between body fat percentage and subcutaneous fat in steatosis patients have been investigated. The body fat percentage was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA, GE Lunar iDXA canner) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA, Omron，HBF-370), and then, the correlation between body fat percentage and subcutaneous adipose tissue in normal and steatosis patients have been evaluated. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
