The cut-point of CAP for presence of hepatic steatosis (MRI-PDFF ≥ 5%) was 288 dB/m. The diagnostic accuracy of CAP for the detection of hepatic steatosis is more reliable when the IQR of CAP is <30 dB/m. These data have implications for the clinical use of CAP in the assessment of NAFLD. (Hepatology 2018;67:1348-1359).
