Unwrapping the Changes from Fatty Liver to Steatotic Liver Disease
Ultrasound has long contributed to assess liver disease through daily screening and innovative features like shear wave elastography (SWE) and attenuation imaging (ATI). This evolution prompts us to reconsider what changes and what remains unchanged with this new nomenclature. It is an opportune moment to re-evaluate the contributions of ultrasound systems to this disease. This webinar will discuss this consensus from different points of view, recognising that differences between countries, influenced by factors such as races, culture, and habits may bring unique perspective to the table.
