Research Progress of Magnetic Resonance and Ultrasound Transient Elastography in the Quantitative Assessment of Metabolic-Related Fatty Liver Disease
Metabolism-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)can lead to steatohepatitis,cirrhosis,and hepatocellular carcinoma.Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing MAFLD.However,invasive examinations cannot be widely used in clinical practice,and non-invasive diagnosis of MAFLD is the future development trend.At present,the main inspection methods include ultrasonic transient elastography,magnetic resonance proton density fat fraction,magnetic resonance spectroscopy,and magnetic resonance elastography.Therefore,this article reviews the research progress of MRI and ultrasound transient elastography in the quantitative assessment of MAFLD,aiming to provide imaging markers for precise clinical diagnosis and treatment.
