ENDRA’s TAEUS Liver Device Delivers MRI-Level Consistency at Point of Care, Achieving 0.89 ICC in Clinical Study
Clinical Study Reveals TAEUS Liver’s High Reliability with 0.89 ICC
ENDRA Life Sciences’ (NASDAQ: NDRA) TAEUS® Liver device just reported eye-catching results: a clinical study showed an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.89, with a standard error of measurement (SEM) of just 3.3%. These numbers mark the device as highly consistent, rivaling the reliability of MRI—the gold standard—but at the patient’s bedside and at a fraction of the cost.
Consistent, Reproducible Results Outperform Traditional Ultrasound
The study involved 14 subjects, where independent operators performed repeated measurements on each individual. A total of 56 measurements were analyzed to evaluate not just consistency within the same user, but also reproducibility across different users—a vital requirement for any diagnostic tool intended for widespread clinical use. In both scenarios, the TAEUS device performed in the “Good to Excellent” range for diagnostic consistency. For comparison, traditional ultrasound techniques suffer from much higher operator-dependent variability, making TAEUS a potential upgrade for clinicians managing patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).
Key Study Results: Performance Metrics at a Glance
| Metric | TAEUS Liver Device | Typical MRI Standard | Conventional Ultrasound |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) | 0.89 | 0.90+ | 0.60–0.80 |
| Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) | 3.30% | 3.00–4.00% | 10.00%+ |
| Operator Dependence | Low | Low | High |
| Point-of-Care | Yes | No | Yes |
Addressing a Market for Over 2 Billion Patients
With nearly one-third of the global adult population suffering from some form of steatotic liver disease, the need for accurate, affordable, and repeatable diagnostic solutions is acute. MRI offers high precision but is expensive and not widely accessible. According to ENDRA, the TAEUS Liver device’s reliable results, even across different operators, positions it as a practical solution for routine screening and monitoring.
Potential Clinical Impact: Consistent Liver Fat Assessment Without MRI Costs
ENDRA’s technology could fill a major gap for clinicians and pharmaceutical companies monitoring responses to metabolic therapies. As new treatments for metabolic liver disease hit the market, being able to detect small yet meaningful changes in liver fat—without the burden of repeated MRI scans—could prove invaluable. The TAEUS system also holds promise for accelerating patient recruitment in clinical trials, as it can be more broadly deployed in primary care and resource-limited settings.
Takeaway: A Step Forward for MASLD Diagnosis and Management
The strong performance of ENDRA’s TAEUS device—ICC of 0.89 and SEM of 3.3%—shows that reliable, MRI-like liver fat measurement could soon be available at the point of care for millions of patients. If TAEUS continues to validate its consistency in larger and more diverse trials, it could transform the diagnostic landscape for metabolic liver disease.
