Author(s): Hanah Kim, Mina Hur, Giuseppe d’Onofrio and Gina Zini*
The rising epidemic of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) presents a significant healthcare challenge due to their high global prevalence and the often-delayed diagnosis of advanced stages. Liver biopsy, although considered the gold standard for diagnosing MASLD/MASH, remains invasive, costly, and prone to inter-observer variability. In recent years, Velacur™, a quantitative ultrasound-based technology, has gained attention as a promising alternative for non-invasive assessment. This commentary aims to review the key findings of Sheikh et al.'s study on Velacur’s accuracy in diagnosing MASLD and MASH. It explores recent updates and innovations in its development, as well as ongoing challenges and potential clinical applications. By reviewing these developments, we aim to highlight the.. View More»
