Reply to Letter to Editor: "Altered probe pressure and body position increase diagnostic accuracy for men and women in detecting hepatic steatosis using quantitative ultrasound".

- Abstract
This document is a reply to a letter to the editor regarding a study on the use of ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) to evaluate hepatic steatosis. The study used a General Electric Healthcare (GE) LOGIQ E10 ultrasound device with UGAP technology, which measures the attenuation of sound waves in real-time. The study found that increased probe force and altered body position improved the diagnostic accuracy for detecting hepatic steatosis. The authors address concerns raised in the letter and provide evidence to support their findings. The study suggests that increased probe force and altered body position can be used in UGAP technology for diagnosing hepatic steatosis.
