Abstract: Background: Modern ultrasound (US) shear-wave dispersion (SWD) and attenuation imaging (ATI) can be used to quantify changes in the viscosity and signal attenuation of the liver parenchyma, which are altered in hepatic steatosis. We aimed to evaluate modern shear-wave elastography (SWE), SWD and ATI for the assessment of hepatic steatosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the US data of 15 patients who underwent liver USs and MRIs for the evaluation of parenchymal disease/liver lesions. The USs were performed using a multifrequency convex probe (1-8 MHz). The quantitative US measurements for the SWE (m/s/kPa), the SWD (kPa-m/s/kHz) and the ATI (dB/cm/MHz) were acquired after the mean value of five regions of interest (ROIs) was calculated. The liver MRI (3T) quantification of hepatic steatosis was performed by acquiring proton density fat fraction (PDFF) mapping sequences and placing five ROIs in artifact-free areas of the PDFF scan, measuring the fat-signal fraction. We correlated the SWE, SWD and ATI measurements to the PDFF results. Results: Three patients showed mild steatosis, one showed moderate steatosis and eleven showed no steatosis in the PDFF sequences. The calculated SWE cut-off (2.5 m/s, 20.4 kPa) value identified 3/4 of patients correctly (AUC = 0.73, p > 0.05). The SWD cut-off of 18.5 m/s/kHz, which had a significant correlation (r = 0.55, p = 0.034) with the PDFF results (AUC = 0.73), identified four patients correctly (p
