Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common diffuse liver diseases worldwide. Approximately one-third of NAFLD will develop into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
liver fibrosis
and even cirrhosis
and increasing the risk of liver cancer. Early diagnosis
grading and active intervention of NAFLD are essential to postpone the disease progression. The pathology of liver biopsy is the gold standard for quantifying steatosis of liver. However

with the advantages of convenient
real time and non-invasive. This article reviewed the recent advances in the application of novel techniques based on ultrasound in the diagnosis of NAFLD.
