  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease, and liver fibrosis is closely associated with the prognosis in NAFLD; therefore, accurate assessment of liver fibrosis is of great importance. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD, but its clinical application is limited by invasiveness. Elastography technique based on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging has gradually been applied in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis associated with NAFLD. This article elaborates on the principles of the two techniques, compares their respective advantages and disadvantages, and introduces the advances in application in combination with artificial intelligence.
