Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic disease with complex lesions, and it is difficult to determine the clinical stage. Liver biopsy is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD; however, its clinical application is limited by various factors. Therefore, noninvasive methods for the accurate diagnosis of NAFLD are research hotspots at present. Imaging examinations help to achieve qualitative and quantitative evaluations of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis and thus has a promising future in clinical practice. This article summarizes the research advances in the imaging diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in recent years.
