Quantitative US for Hepatic Steatosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performance of quantitative ultrasound imaging parameter for the assessment of hepatic steatosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease using magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and MR spectroscopy as the reference standard.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Correlation between quantitative US imaging parameter (QUS) and MR fat fraction [3 months]
reference standard: MR spectroscopy or MRI-proton density fat fraction value
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Diagnostic performance of QUS to detect mild fatty liver and moderate fatty liver [3 months]
reference standard: MR fat fraction
- Correlation between S-shearwave elastography and MR elastography [3 months]
Reference standard: liver stiffness at MR elastography, using Pearson's correlation analysis or Spearman rank correlation analysis
- Intra-observer agreement of quantitative ultrasound imaging parameter [same 1 day]
intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)
- Development and validation of deep learning model for prediction of hepatic steatosis [1 month]
ROC analysis and C-index for deep learning model for prediction of hepatic steatosis
