- Non-invasive assessment and quantification of liver steatosis by ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance. (2009, background): “Most ultrasound studies refer to a three or more point scoring system for fatty liver (‘mild’, ‘moderate’ and ‘severe’) [55,60] based on hyperechogenic liver tissue, the increased discrepancy of echo amplitude between liver and kidney and the loss of echoes from the walls of the portal system.”
