Synopsis

This study shows the value of multiparametric magnetic resonance measurements for detecting the changes in liver tissue due to diabetes mellitus. Liver fat content (determined by mDixon MRI and 1H-MR spectroscopy), T2* relaxation time and liver stiffness were compared in humans with type 1 (T1DM), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or normal glucose tolerance (control, CON).
