Overview
Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Findings on MRI suggestive of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease include quantification of the hepatic steatosis. MRI has a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 93% in diagnosing NAFLD. However, it uses is limited because of the cost.
MRI
- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of NAFLD.[1][2]
- Findings on MRI suggestive NAFLD include:
- Quantification of hepatic steatosis.[3][4]
- Drop in signal intensity in liver on the out-of-phase sequence, compatible with intra-cellular lipid deposition.
- MRI also helps longitudinal follow-up of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to check response to therapy
- Another kind of MRI is magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) which reflects fat in the whole liver like triglycerides in a specific volume; and proton density fat fraction (PDFF).[5]
