OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatic steatosis
in an asymptomatic US adult population using attenuation values at unenhanced CT as the …

Objectives To determine a highly specific liver attenuation threshold at unenhanced CT for
biopsy-proven moderate to severe hepatic steatosis (≥ 30% at histology). Methods 315 …

OBJECTIVE. Hepatic steatosis is a common incidental finding at radiologic imaging. The
natural history of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its associated risks for …

Purpose To establish the reference range for hepatic attenuation minus splenic attenuation
difference (CTL− S) values on nonenhanced computed tomographic (CT) images obtained …

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and its consequences are a growing public
health concern requiring cross-sectional imaging for noninvasive diagnosis and …

Background/Aims. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease that
can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This retrospective chart review …

Purpose: To retrospectively compare the accuracy of visual grading and the liver attenuation
index in the computed tomographic (CT) diagnosis of 30% or higher macrovesicular …
