"grade 0: normal"
"grade I: diffusely increased hepatic echogenicity but periportal and diaphragmatic echogenicity is still appreciable 1"
"grade II: diffusely increased hepatic echogenicity obscuring periportal echogenicity but diaphragmatic echogenicity is still appreciable 1"
"grade III: diffusely increased hepatic echogenicity obscuring periportal as well as diaphragmatic echogenicity 1"
"s0: normal (below 184 dB/m)"
"s2: moderate (249-280 dB/m)"
"there is a histological three-point scale for grading the severity of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) 3 - these two grading systems are not correlated"
"B-mode ultrasound (Saverymuttu)"
"CAP values are influenced by a number of variables, including MASLD, diabetes, BMI, older age, and the presence of ascites 1"

"Controlled attenuation parameter"
"This grading system is widely used in clinical practice but remains subjective and operator-dependent; although it reliably detects moderate to severe steatosis, it has limited sensitivity for mild disease and does not quantify steatosis 4,5."
