The aims of the work described here were to assess shear wave attenuation (SWA) in volunteers and patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and compare its diagnostic performance with that of shear wave dispersion (SWD), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proton density fat fraction (PDF...
