Popis: Abstract Aim To determine the utility of the ultrasound‐guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) for quantifying hepatic steatosis in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Subjects were 84 patients with NAFLD (53 men, 31 women; mean age 54 [20–81] years) who underwent liver biopsy and ultrasonography using a GE LOGIQ E9 system and C1‐6 probe at our hospital between 2017 and 2020. B‐Mode imaging of segment V in the liver was acquired and echo attenuation was assessed using UGAP. Steatosis score (S0:
