Non-invasive staging of hepatic steatosis by Quantification Attenuation Index (QAI)

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Quantification Attenuation Index (QAI) for staging hepatic steatosis non-invasively.
• Assessment of hepatic steatosis using QAI methodology
• Comparison of QAI results with histology findings
• Validation against Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP)
• QAI demonstrates reliable non-invasive assessment of hepatic steatosis
• Good agreement between QAI measurements and histological results
• Strong correlation observed with CAP readings
