Quantification of intrahepatic fat represents an
important challenge in disease management for morbidly
obese patients. Liver biopsy is often problematic with
associated risks and limited volume of coverage.
Alternate techniques include serum tests such as
Steatotest and MRI fat quantification. Moreover, obese
patients are often difficult to examine in conventional
MRI systems and may require examinations in open magnets
at low field strengths. In this report, using
histopathological analyses of liver biopsies as gold
standard, the diagnostic performance of 1.0T open field
MR fat quantification was found to significantly
outperform the serum marker Steatotest in the
determination of hepatic steatosis.
