Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver
disease, with an incidence of 20–40% worldwide, making it a major healthcare problem …

Objectives To investigate the methodology and clinical application of ultrasound attenuation
imaging (ATI) and comparative analyze the diagnostic performance of ATI and controlled …

Attenuation imaging is a novel, ultrasound-based technique to objectively detect and
quantify liver steatosis. In this study, we evaluated the performance and inter-observer …

In recent years, ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI) has emerged as a new method to
detect liver steatosis. However, thus far, no studies have confirmed the clinical utility of this …

Purpose Attenuation imaging (ATI) is a new noninvasive ultrasound technique for assessing
steatosis grade (S). However, validated region-of-interest (ROI) sampling strategies are not …

The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common chronic liver disease,
is increasing yearly. With increasing degrees of liver steatosis, NAFLD can progress to …

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasound-guided
attenuation parameter (UGAP) for the detection of hepatic steatosis in comparison with the …

The accuracy of attenuation coefficients and B-mode ultrasound for distinguishing between
S0 (healthy,< 5% fat) and S1–3 (steatosis≥ 5%) livers compared to a controlled attenuation …

Background Several preliminary reports have suggested the utility of ultrasound attenuation
coefficient measurements based on B-mode ultrasound, such as iATT, for diagnosing …

Background/Aims In a recent study, attenuation imaging (ATI) with ultrasound was used as a
new approach for detecting liver steatosis. However, although there are many studies on ATI …
