Does ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) provide an accurate non-invasive diagnostic alternative to liver biopsy and MRI for hepatic steatosis?
Ultrasound-derived fat fraction offers a non-invasive and accurate alternative to liver biopsy and MRI for the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis.
Early diagnosis of hepatic steatosis holds critical clinical significance. The study proposed dual-threshold ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) criteria and BMI-stratified steatosis risk prediction strategy. UDFF provided a non-invasive, accurate diagnostic alternative to liver biopsy and MRI.
