Image: Simplified illustration shows disease simulation model. Patients start in the 70%– 89% luminal narrowing state and progress or regress to other narrowing states, experience a stroke, undergo revascularization (revasc), or die of stroke-related or nonstroke-related causes (Photo courtesy of the Radiological Society of North America).

Image: Multi-echo MRI fat fractions positively correlate with the grade of steatosis estimated by histopathologic measurements. (A) Representative multi-echo MRI images showing different degrees of water and fat intensity, and fat fraction in different patients. (B) Multi-echo MRI fat fractions positively correlate with the grade of steatosis estimated by histopathologic measurements in human livers (n =129). Dots represent the values of each case. (C) Multi-echo MRI fat fraction mean values of each steatosis grading group (0 to 3 scale). CV, coefficient of variation; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; Std. Dev, standard deviation (Photo courtesy of Jiménez-Agüero, et al: BMC Medicine 2014 12:137).

MRI Helps to Identify and Quantify Fat in the Liver

Spanish investigators have shown that magnetic resonance imaging is a good modality—better than hepatic biopsy—for identifying fats in the liver and for quantifying them.  More...
