Abstract

Abstract : The recently developed ultrasound‐based hepatic fat quantification tools have the potential to be implemented in daily practice with wide acceptance due to inherited advantages of ultrasound technology. Researchers intensively focused on this topic and the accumulated evidences that support clinical usefulness of these tools. However, differences in the researcher‐dependent factors of the utilized MRI‐PDFF technique, the recommended reference standard, may hinder the better understanding of the diagnostic performances of these tools. Therefore, a standardized approach for MRI‐PDFF technique, which is established with international consensus may be considered as important.
