Abstract: Pilot results of new quantifying ultrasound methodic of liver steatosis evaluation in dB/cm are presented in this article. Main stages of the methodic standardization are tested in control group of patients (n=90). Liver biopsy (n=40) and dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry in “Whole body†regime (n=148) were reference methods in clinical group of patients (n=148) with overweight and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The correlation of ultrasound liver steatosis diagnostics and liver biopsy was r=0.86 at S0 and r=0.84 at S3.
