Core Tip This letter champions a paradigm shift in hepatology: moving beyond static liver structure to dynamic functional assessment. While MRI-derived scores like FLIS offer powerful prognosis, their cost and complexity limit widespread screening. Here, Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) emerges as a vital, accessible tool for real-time hemodynamic profiling. The future lies not in a single technology, but in a stratified, intelligent pathway—leveraging simpler tests for broad screening and reserving advanced MRI for high-risk cases—to truly democratize precision liver care.
