Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most accurate technique to diagnose the presence of liver fat, and it can be used to quantify the levels of liver fat.101 Liver fat on MRI is also expressed as a percentage, but not the percentage of liver cells laden with fat droplets, rather the...

the prevalence of NAFLD in type 2 diabetic patients has been reported to be 50% [14] and 60% [15]. A study diagnosing NAFLD by MRI-estimated proton density fat fraction ≥5% found NAFLD in
Data are presented as medians (interquartile range) with spaghetti-diagrams to present individualised changes in the hepatic fat fraction. The line within each box represents the median, and the top and bottom of the box represent the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers indicate...

MRI was performed with a 1.5-T system (Signa HDxt, GE HealthcareMR, Milwaukee, WI, USA). Quantitatively encoded MRI was performed obtaining the proton density fat fraction (PDFF) maps of the liver. An MRI PDFF threshold of 6.4% diagnoses significant hepatic steatosis [28]. A pneumatic dri...
