Ultrasonography is usually the first imaging modality for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess which of a number of methods of
measuring attenuation on CT scans is best for prediction of hepatic fat content. MATERIALS …

It is possible to estimate hepatic triglyceride content by calculating the proton density fat
fraction (PDFF), using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS), instead of …

OBJECTIVE. Visceral adiposity and hepatic steatosis may correlate with the metabolic
syndrome but are not currently among the diagnostic criteria. We evaluated these features at …

The purpose was to evaluate the ability of three magnetic resonance (MR) techniques to
