Diagnostic Accuracy of Non-Invasive Hepatic Ultrasound Score for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Keeping Computed Tomography as a Gold Standard

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive hepatic ultrasound score for diagnosis non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by keeping computed tomography. (CT) as gold standard.
 Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
 Place and Duration Study: Armed Forces Institute Radiology Imaging Rawalpindi from Dec 2017 to May 2018.
 Methodology: All patients any ethnicity gender with more than 18 less 60 years age were considered study. Hepatic based on anteroposterior diameter right lobe liver, deep beam attenuation was calculated, results compared CT scan findings.
 Results: A total 101 included. 69 had a Ultrasound 2 or more, fulfilling study’s criteria be labelled Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. On scan, 71 fulfilled having Keeping Computed Tomography standard, 59 true positive, 10 false positive. The sensitivity specificity this 83.09 % 66.67%, respectively. Positive Predictive Value 85.50% Negative 62.5%.
 Conclusion: is reliable, reproducible accurate tool diagnosing
