Key Words	Ultrasound diagnosis; Liver steatosis; Liver fibrosis; Diagnostic accuracy; Liver biopsy
Core Tip	This study demonstrates that advancements in shear wave elastography and other ultrasound (US) methods allow for increasingly higher diagnostic accuracy. Several methods with area under the receiver operating characteristic curves slightly worse than 1.0 are described. For fibrosis, lower diagnostic accuracy was observed in earlier stages. However, the diagnostic value of US methods will probably resemble that of biopsy, questioning the rationale of sampling. For steatosis, the options remain less effective, and studies are fewer, but promising US modalities are emerging.
