Ultrasound can help us to look for changes of cirhosis in liver and can detect fatty liver.It is incapable of determining the fibrosis or cirhosis,that can be determined with liver biopsy and with elastography correlation.you have fatty liver ,but fibrosis or cirhosis can be found on Fibroscan or liver biopsy
