New diagnostic technique to evaluate hepatic steatosis using the attenuation coefficient on ultrasound B mode.

<h4>Purpose</h4>We have developed a diagnostic technique to evaluate hepatic steatosis using the attenuation coefficient (ATT) in ultrasound B mode imaging. A controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) has also been used to evaluate hepat...
