Ultrasound-derived fat fraction for the noninvasive quantification of hepatic steatosis: a prospective multicenter study
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.
