Published Date: Apr 1, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a proton density fat fraction (PDFF) sequence is the most accurate, noninvasive method for assessing hepatic steatosis. However, manual measurement on the PDFF map is time-consuming. This study aimed to validate automated whole-liver fat quantification for assessing hepatic steatosis with MRI-PDFF.
