Ultrasound (Ultrasonography):A painless, non-invasive test, when performed by an experienced personnel, it can accurately identify fatty liver. The liver size can be measured and this test can be valuable in grading the improvement. Liver Function Tests:Abnormal levels of liver enzymes in the bloo...
Inclusion criteria involve fatty liver disease, impaired glucose tolerance, and informed consent, while exclusions include alcohol intake and hepatitis. Data collection comprises demographics, anthropometrics, metabolic syndrome assessment, ultrasound grading of steatosis, and laboratory tests for liver function...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the application value of score by ultrasound elastography in grading fatty liver. Methods: Seventy-seven patients with fatty liver were enrolled, and 30 patients with proven healthy livers were used as control group. After all patients with conv...
Murine models of diffuse liver disease can be used as a base for pre-clinical studies [8]. Radiological methods such as ultrasound (US) brightness-mode (B-mode) imaging [1,2,9–11], duplex Doppler US [12], computed tomography perfusion [13] and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [14,15...

The ultrasound grading standard for NAFLD was as follows [38]: Mild NAFLD was defined as enhanced liver echo, unclear posterior echo attenuation, and normal structure of the intrahepatic duct; moderate NAFLD was defined as obviously enhanced liver echo, attenuated posterior echo, and unclear ...
Background & AimsThe diagnostic accuracy of hepatic ultrasonography for detection and grading of hepatic steatosis in children with suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of ultrason...
In this report the current limitations in the diagnosis of NAFLD are summarized with serum biochemistries frequently failing to be informative as they can be within normal range or are insufficiently sensitive to reflect grades of disease; alike liver ultrasound imaging requires skilled healthcare ...
Noninvasive assessment of hepatic steatosis grades by ultrasound derived fat fraction in metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease Article Open access 30 December 2024 Analysis of clinical features and identification of risk factors in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based ...
Several imaging techniques can detect fatty infiltration of the liver, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Ultrasound is still in the first option for diagnosis, but its accuracy depends on the operator and the patient’s features. Computed tomography can detect hepatic fat content, but...
