===Choice of modality===
*'''[[Ultrasonography of steatosis]]''' is a good method for screening. Quantification can be done, but it is not as accurate as MRI.
*'''[[MRI of liver steatosis]]''' is the most accurate method to quantify liver steatosis.
*'''[[CT of the liver]]''' should not be used to detect or stage liver steatosis. Steatosis on [[CT scan]] is displayed as a liver with attenuation lower than usual. CT has high sensitivity for moderate and severe steatosis, but lower for mild steatosis.<noinclude>
