Abstract:
Early diagnosis and timely treatment of hepatic steatosis is very important for controlling the development and improving the prog-nosis of disease.This paper introduces the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP),a novel non -invasive method to quantitatively assess hepatic steatosis.This paper briefly describes the advantages of CAP compared with other methods for detecting hepatic steatosis:CAP is simple,fast,repeatable,and generally accepted by patients.CAP is of great value for early detection of fatty liver.Moreover,this paper re-views the optimal cut -off values of CAP for detection of fatty liver in different studies.CAP can be used to dynamically monitor the progres-sion and regression of fatty liver as a guide to clinical treatment.
