| Abstract |
The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has been continuously rising over the last three decades and is projected to become the most common indication for liver transplantation in the near future. Its pathophysiology and complex interplay with diabetes and the metabolic syndrome are not as yet fully understood despite growing scientific interest and research. Modern imaging techniques offer significant assistance in this field by enabling the study of the liver noninvasively and evaluation of the degree of both steatosis and fibrosis, and even in attempting to diagnose the presence of inflammation (steatohepatitis). The derived measurements are highly precise, accurate and reproducible, performing better than biopsy in terms of quantification. In this article, these imaging techniques are overviewed and their performance regarding diagnosis, stratification and monitoring are evaluated. Their expanding role both in the research arena and in clinical practice along with their limitations is also discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 June 2018.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Hormones international journal of endocrinology and metabolism
#315
of 459 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,106
of 343,274 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hormones international journal of endocrinology and metabolism
#16
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 459 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,274 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
