• Based on the consensus review derived from radiologists, our DLS (2S-NNet) had an AUROC of 0.88 by using two-section design and yielded better performance for detecting NAFLD than using one-section design with more explainable, clinical relevant utility. • The 2S-NNet outperformed five fatty liver indices with the highest AUROCs (0.84-0.93 vs. 0.54-0.82) for different NAFLD severity screening, indicating screening utility of deep learning-based radiology may perform better than blood biomarker panels in epidemiology. • The correctness of 2S-NNet was not significantly influenced by individual's characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, fibrosis-4 index, android fat ratio, and skeletal muscle via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
