Our study in a typical heterogeneous clinical population suggests the semi-quantitative HRI is of limited use in hepatic steatosis imaging. As HRI is the objective measure of the subjective brightness (B)-mode assessment, this imaging feature may not be as reliable as previously thought. Quantitative ATI may be the preferred non-invasive technique for hepatic steatosis assessment.
