Hepatic steatosis is characterized by abnormal and excessive accumulation of lipids within
hepatocytes. It is an important feature of diffuse liver disease, and the histological hallmark …

Hepatic steatosis is the most prevalent liver disorder in the developed world. It is closely
associated with features of metabolic syndrome, especially insulin resistance and obesity …

Background & Aims Noninvasive methods have been evaluated for the assessment of liver
fibrosis and steatosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging–
estimated proton density fat fraction (PDFF) for assessing hepatic steatosis in nonalcoholic …

The association between obesity and impaired insulin sensitivity has long been recognized,
although a subgroup of obese individuals seems to be protected from insulin resistance. In …

On February 19–22, the 2012 ISMRM Workshop on Fat–Water Separation was held in Long
Beach, California. Over 130 attendees from 13 countries convened to discuss historical …

Purpose To determine utility of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measurements for
quantifying the liver fat content in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and …

Multiecho chemical shift–based water‐fat separation methods are seeing increasing clinical
use due to their ability to estimate and correct for field inhomogeneities. Previous chemical …

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic accuracy (area under the receiver operating
characteristic curve [AUROC]) of magnetic resonance (MR) elastography for the early …

After the first description of fatty pancreas in 1933, the effects of pancreatic steatosis have
been poorly investigated, compared with that of the liver. However, the interest of research is …
