Abstract
This study retrospectively analyzed the test results of 441 patients who visited Hospital I in Busan from October 2021 to December 2021 and conducted both mid-term ultrasound and fibroscan tests. The purpose of the study was to investigate the usefulness of fibroscan in inter-fat evaluation by conducting correlation analysis and chi-squared test of inter-fat evaluation using liver ultrasound and fibroscan. As a result of analyzing the correlation between the fatty liver reading result of abdominal ultrasound and Fibroscan UAP, the correlation was found to be r=0.600 and p=0.000. In the inter-provincial evaluation, Fibroscan showed high validity in predicting objective results using inter-provincial values.
