ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2019 / ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. ("ENDRA") (NDRA), a developer of enhanced ultrasound technologies, will attend the 2nd International Conference on Fatty Liver, ICFL 2019, occurring June 27-29, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. At the conference, Renaud Maloberti, ENDRA Life Sciences Chief Commercial Officer will showcase ENDRA's TAEUS™ Technology, a next generation Thermo-Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS™) platform that enables clinicians to visualize human tissue composition, function and temperature in ways previously possible only with CT and MRI.
ICFL 2019 will explore the clinical needs and best practices for diagnosing and treating Fatty Liver Disease. Attendees include clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals in the field of Hepatology, Gastroenterology, as well as Diabetology, Nutrition, Radiology and Cardiology.
"I am very excited to showcase our TAEUS technology in Berlin, one of our targeted commercial rollout territories," said Renaud Maloberti, ENDRA's CCO. "TAEUS addresses a large unmet clinical need in liver disease and we are honored to showcase our disruptive technology with key thought leaders at ICFL 2019. We look forward to developing and furthering clinical relationships and collecting valuable feedback from radiologists, gastroenterologists, hepatologists and endocrinologists in the liver space."
The International Conference on Fatty Liver explores the rising rate of fatty liver disease from a multidisciplinary approach. Key themes presented during the conference are:
Clinical needs and best practices for diagnosing and treating Fatty Liver;
Holistic approach to improve diagnostics tools and therapeutic modalities between disciplines;
Sharing data and experience by building a multidisciplinary international community;
Inviting leading experts across the relevant fields to educate and foster knowledge exchange; and
Hosting technology providers to present product information and trends that support their clinical and scientific practices.
About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. ("ENDRA") (NDRA) is a developer of enhanced ultrasound technologies. ENDRA is developing a next generation Thermo-Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS™) platform to enable clinicians to visualize human tissue composition, function and temperature in ways previously possible only with CT & MRI - at a fraction of the cost, and at the point-of-care. ENDRA's first TAEUS application will focus on the fatty liver tissue characterization, for early detection and monitoring of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). ENDRA's goal is to bring new capabilities to ultrasound - thereby broadening access to better healthcare. For more information, please visit www.endrainc.com.
About Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
NAFLD is a condition closely associated with obesity, diabetes, hepatitis-C and certain genetic predispositions in which fat accumulates in the liver. NAFLD affects over 1 billion people globally and is estimated to cost the U.S healthcare system over $100 billion annually. NAFLD is often asymptomatic and if left untreated, NAFLD can progress to inflammation (NASH), tissue scarring (fibrosis), cell death (cirrhosis) and liver cancer. By 2025, NAFLD is forecast to be the greatest root cause of liver transplants. The only tools currently available for diagnosing and monitoring NAFLD are impractical: expensive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or an invasive surgical biopsy.
