Quantification of steatosis in alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: evaluation of four MR techniques versus biopsy

ConclusionIn the evaluation of hepatic steatosis, our study showed very good correlations of all four MR techniques with the histological standard. There was no confounding factor in a representative group of patients with associated liver conditions such as alcohol consumption, fibrosis and iron overload, for each technique. All four MR techniques may be used in daily practice.
