Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate diagnostic performance of quantitative ultrasonographic parameters for the assessment of hepatic steatosis with find optimal cut-off values 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.
