Volumetric Liver Fat Fraction Determines Grade of Steatosis More Accurately Than Controlled Attenuation Parameter in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

HepaFat-Scan is a magnetic resonance imaging-based method for quantification of hepatic steatosis by volumetric liver fat fraction (VLFF) measurement. We aimed to validate VLFF and to compare it with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) for determination of hepatic steatosis grade in patients with NAFLD, using histopathology and stereologic analyses of biopsies as the reference standard.
