Ultrasound and vibration methods, such as FibroScan, are more common and less expensive clinical tools for assessing liver fat and fibrosis compared to MRE and PDFF.

“from a practical standpoint the more common tool are  ultrasound and vibration methods  that are less expensive that are easier to do in a in a clinic  and there are there's a branded version of this that we typically use called fibroscan”

“so I would say from a practical standpoint the more common tool are um ultrasound and vibration methods um that are less expensive that are easier to do in a in a clinic um and there are there's a branded version of this that we typically use called fibroscan”

“the the gold standard was probably uh magnetic resonance elastography and proton density fat fraction or pdff um so you know again that's that's sort of looking at Mr technology um so meaning an MRI to make the diagnosis”
