Proton density fat fraction (PDFF) was used to assess fatty liver of pregnant women with normal and obese body mass indexes (BMI). No significant difference was found in the mean hepatic PDFF between the two groups (p=0.28). One normal BMI woman and one obese woman had elevated hepatic PDFF measurements.
