TL;DR: The results indicate that determination of the fat volume fraction in steatotic liver can be achieved noninvasively with MR spectroscopy.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the use of test objects allows an accurate and reproducible noninvasive quantitative assessment of hepatic fat infiltration in humans and may prove useful in the evaluation of the natural course and treatment of liver steatosis as well as in the assessment of donor livers prior to transplantation.

TL;DR: The authors evaluated the degree of fatty infiltration of the liver in subjects with diffuse liver steatosis using image-guided 1H localized MR spectroscopy and correlated the magnetic resonance-determined fat fraction with the computed tomography liver/spleen density ratio and histologic evaluation.

TL;DR: Low absorbing details within breast tissue, invisible with conventional techniques, are detected by means of the proposed phase contrast imaging method, and the use of a bending magnet radiation source relaxes the previously reported requirements on source size.

TL;DR: An innovative setup capable of removing the pixel size constraints, and thus opening the way to low dose digital phase contrast imaging, is described and an imaging technique based on the detection of radiation scattered at small angles is introduced: the information extracted from the sample is increased at no dose expense.
