Estimating of hepatic fat amount using MRI proton density fat fraction in a real practice setting
The recently developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proton density fat fraction (PDFF) allows measurement of the fat in all segments of hepatic tissue. However, it is time consuming and inconvenient to measure each segment repeatedly. Moreover, volume of each segment also should be adjusted with arithmetic mean of the selected segments when total amount of liver fat is estimated. Therefore,...
متن کاملNon-invasive quantification of liver fat content by different Gradient Echo MRI sequences in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Introduction: Non-invasive quantification of liver fat by Gradient echo (GRE) Technique is an interesting issue in quantitative MRI. Despite the numerous advantages of this technique, fat measurement maybe biased by confounding and effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GRE pulse sequences with different and weighting for liver fat quantification in patients with...
متن کاملFocal sparing of iron and fat in liver tissue in patients with hemosiderosis: diagnosis with combination of R2* relaxometry and proton density fat fraction calculation by MRI.
PURPOSE To demonstrate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the focal sparing of iron and fat in liver tissue in patients with hepatic iron overload. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 48 liver MRIs performed in patients with hemosiderosis from 2007-2009. We selected five (10%) of these patients based on the observation of focal signal abnormalities in the posterior asp...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction for Assessing Liver Steatosis in Chronic Viral C Hepatitis
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of a T1-independent, T2*-corrected multiecho magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for the quantification of hepatic steatosis in a cohort of patients affected by chronic viral C hepatitis, using liver biopsy as gold standard. METHODS Eighty-one untreated patients with chronic viral C hepatitis were prospectively enrolled. All included patie...
