Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test the performance of neuronal networks trained on ultrasonic raw Data radiofrequency data for the assessment of liver diseases in patients undergoing a clinical ultrasound examination The general feasibility is currently evaluated in a retrospective cohort

The main questions the study aims to answer are

Can a neuronal network trained on RF Data perform equally good as elastography in the assessment of diffuse liver diseases
Can a neuronal network trained on RF Data perform better than a neuronal network trained on b-mode images in the assessment of diffuse liver diseases
Can a neuronal network trained on RF Data distinguish focal pathologies in the liver from healthy tissue

To answer these questions participants with a clinically indicated fibroscan will undergo

a clinical elastography in Case ob suspected diffuse liver disease
a reliable ground truth if normal ultrasound is not sufficient eg contrast enhanced ultrasound biopsy MRI or CT in case of focal liver diseases depending on the standard routine of the participating center
a clinical ultrasound examination during which b-mode images and the corresponding RF-Data sets are captured
