Human studies evaluating QUS-based methods for hepatic fat quantification in the context of MASLD were included. Screening and data extraction were performed using standardized procedures, with iterative refinement of the data-charting framework.\n                    <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Out of 1 265 identified records, 150 studies were included. The body of literature has evolved from initial proof-of-concept and signal-processing investigations to more recent research emphasizing clinical relevance, reproducibility, and real-world use. Publication activity rose significantly after around 2018, coinciding with the commercial release of QUS technologies. The most common methods were based on attenuation coefficients, followed by approaches using backscattering coefficients, speed-of-sound estimation, envelope statistics, and combined multiparametric techniques. Recently, MRI- proton density fat fraction has become the preferred reference standard in validation studies, whereas liver biopsy and the controlled attenuation parameter have been used less often as primary comparison methods.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Hepatic QUS is a diverse and rapidly evolving field encompassing multiple methodological categories grounded in distinct physical principles. Although QUS offers a physically grounded and clinically promising framework for noninvasive hepatic fat assessment, substantial heterogeneity in acquisition protocols, implementation, and reporting limits comparability across platforms. Greater standardization, improved inter-manufacturer reproducibility, and further development of robust multiparametric approaches are essential to enhance its clinical utility in the management of MASLD.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/2057-1976\/ae7378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]],"date-time":"2026-05-27T22:48:12Z","timestamp":1779922092000},"page":"032002","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantitative ultrasound for hepatic fat assessment: physical principles, signal processing, and technological advances \u2013 a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6074-3314","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jamerson","family":"Silva de Albuquerque J\u00fanior","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"},{"name":"Clinical Medical Physicist, Unit of Diagnostic Imaging and Specialized Diagnostics (UDIDE), Alcides Carneiro University Hospital, Brazilian Hospital Services Company (EBSERH)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4552-8453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Carolina","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital and Postgraduate Internal Medicine Program, School of Medicine, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7144-1071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Ara\u00fajo dos Santos J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5955-1219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"Spara Gadelha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Campina Grande"},{"name":"Unit of Diagnostic Imaging and Specialized Diagnostics (UDIDE), Alcides Carneiro University Hospital, Brazilian Hospital Services Company (EBSERH)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5434-4832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Romilton","family":"dos Santos Amaral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8790-7830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zahily","family":"Herrero Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2787-2629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josineide","family":"Marques do Nascimento Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bpexae7378bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo15050299","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in the Korean general population: epidemiology, risk factors, and non-invasive screening","volume":"15","author":"Choi","year":"2025","journal-title":"Metabolites"},{"key":"bpexae7378bib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jceh.2025.102559","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Liver-related events and outcomes in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease varies with the type of cardiometabolic risk factor","volume":"15","author":"Swaroop","year":"2025","journal-title":"J.
