Abstract-Vorschau
Background: Hepatic fat accumulation is the hallmark of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) but rapid non-invasive methods measuring hepatic steatosis are not available in clinical practice. The controlled attenuation parameter (CAP™) quantifies the degree of ultrasound attenuation based on vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE™, FibroScan®; Echosens, Paris). Overweight/obesity is an important risk…
