Detection and Monitoring in Fatty Liver Clinical Trials: The Role of Medical Imaging, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO (PRWEB) March 27, 2019 -- Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by the presence of an abnormal accumulation of fat in the liver that can progress to cell injury and inflammation. Recent intervention studies have aimed to reduce the NASH-related metabolic stress and liver fat levels by decreasing the amount of lipid droplets in the hepatocyte, before inflammation and fibrosis become irreversible. Medical imaging is a powerful tool for measuring the effect of the intervention on liver fat. To incorporate effective imaging-based experiments into clinical trials for NASH, there are several factors to consider during the experimental design phase.
Join Mark W. Tengowski, DVM, MS, PhD, Scientific Director of MSK & More Medical Affairs at Bioclinica in a live webinar on Thursday, April 18, 2019 at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK) to explore:
- Liver biology and metabolism basics, including the progression to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NASH
- Use of non-invasive imaging to grade and monitor fatty liver diseases
- Measurements that are key for fat fraction analysis, inflammation and elastography
- Common imaging challenges and how to account for them
- Serum markers and their uses
Dr. Tengowski is a subject matter expert in inflammatory and musculoskeletal diseases and has a strong background in devising medical imaging strategies that will achieve a study’s objective and endpoints.
