Free fatty acid-based low-impedance liver image: a characteristic appearance in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

Abstract Background To examine in vitro acoustic property of nonalcoholic fatty disease in mouse and human liver to identify nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods The acoustic impedance (× 106 kg/m2/s) was measured in 35 free fatty acids (FFAs, 500 mmol/L) and histologically-diagnosed liver s...
