Key Points

Ultrasound-guided attenuation parameters demonstrate diagnostic accuracy for detecting liver steatosis.
Controlled attenuation parameters reveal similar performance in comparison to MRI-based proton density fat fraction.
Assessment using ultrasound techniques enables non-invasive monitoring of liver fat content.
Additional studies could enhance the understanding of ultrasound effectiveness in clinical settings.

Abstract

Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine in January 2014), the official English-language journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound, Aims and Scope:Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine in January 2014), the official English-language journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound.It is published four times per year: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Original articles, topical reviews, pictorial essays, and notable case reports are published in Ultrasonography covering state-of-the-art content. Ultrasonography also serves as a medium for cooperation among physicians and specialists from around the world who are focusing on various ultrasound technology and disease problems.
