CT liver-to-spleen (L/S) attenuation ratio is another validated method to diagnose NAFLD. We compared NAFLD prevalence using the LFS versus L/S ratio among Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study participants to assess the LFS's performance in HIV+vs. HIV-men. Methods: In a cross-sectional analysis ...
Objectives: To explore the correlation between fatty content of fatty liver and the difference of CT attenuation value in dual-energy CT, and to evaluate the value of dual-energy CT in the quantitative diagnosis of fatty liver in rabbits. Material and Methods: Dual-energy CT at 120 kVp and ...

Multifocal nodular fatty infiltration can simulate metastatic disease on both CT and MR imaging. The combination of in-phase (IP) and opposed-phase (OP) gradient-echo imaging can reliably differentiate MNFIL from metastatic disease. 展开 关键词: MRI – Liver – Fatty infiltration – Opposed phase...
However, these studies were conducted in patients at high risk for liver disease. This study establishes the normal reference range of cT1 values for a large UK population, and assesses interactions of age and gender. Methods MR data were acquired on a 1.5 T system as part of the UK ...
The liver is a large organ on the right-hand side of the body, located in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen. The normal weight of an adult liver is about 1,200–1,500 g. The liver is mostly covered and protected by the lower part of your ribcage (Fig. 1). About 20% of...
The differential diagnosis of liver metastases and localised fatty deposition in the liver: A comparison of CT and MRI (In German) Schörner W, Neumann K, Langer M, et al. (Strahlenklinik u. Poliklinik, Universitätklinikum Rudolf Virchow, Standort Charlottenburg, Spandauer Damn 130, D-100...
The liver morphological changes in relation to fibrosis stage in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have not yet been clearly understood. This study was to develop a liver surface nodularity (LSN) quantification program and to compare the fibrosis
for the detection of fatty liver disease and were well correlated with patterns 2 and 3 of liver echogenicity. The 3 rats which appeared to be normal in ultrasound imaging showed mild steatosis in microscopy. Control animals were all classified as pattern 1 and presented with normal liver parench...
It is unclear whether non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We examined the independent impact of NAFLD on the progression of the coronary artery calcification (CAC) score, a well-known marker
