Performance of ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter and 2D shear wave elastography in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Question How well do ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) and two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) perform for quantifying hepatic steatosis and fibrosis? Findings UGAP had a maximum AUC of 0.828 for the diagnosis of grade ≥ 2 steatosis, and 2D-SWE had an AUC of 0.862 for diagnosing advanced fibrosis. Clinical relevance UGAP and 2D-SWE allow rapid, reproducible, and accurate quantification of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis that can be used for the noninvasive assessment of patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
