iATT liver fat quantification for steatosis grading by referring to MRI proton density fat fraction: a multicenter study

Background Several preliminary reports have suggested the utility of ultrasound attenuation coefficient measurements based on B-mode ultrasound, such as iATT, for diagnosing steatotic liver disease. Nonetheless, evidence supporting such utility is lacking. This prospective study aimed to investigate...

Zusammenfassung:Background Several preliminary reports have suggested the utility of ultrasound attenuation coefficient measurements based on B-mode ultrasound, such as iATT, for diagnosing steatotic liver disease. Nonetheless, evidence supporting such utility is lacking. This prospective study aimed to investigate whether iATT is highly concordant with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and could well distinguish between steatosis grades. Methods A cohort of 846 individuals underwent both iATT and MRI-PDFF assessments. Steatosis grade was defined as grade 0 with MRI-PDFF
