Brief Summary   This clinical trial evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound techniques and features, including Total Attenuation Imaging (TAIâ„¢), Tissue Scatter Imaging (TSIâ„¢), and Ultrasound Fat Fraction (USFF), for assessing hepatic steatosis compared to MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF). Conducted at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, the study involves adults clinically suspected of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). It aims to correlate TAIâ„¢ and TSIâ„¢ with MRI-PDFF, compare USFF with B-mode ultrasound for different steatosis grades, and evaluate the relationship between USFF and clinical tests. Patients are recruited based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, with imaging performed on the same day as hospital appointments. Primary outcomes include the diagnostic performance of the ultrasound techniques, while secondary outcomes focus on sensitivity, specificity, and correlation with MRI-PDFF and clinical tests. The study strives to improve non-invasive diagnostic methods for hepatic steatosis.
