TLDR
Based on data from a phase 2 randomized controlled trial of adults with NASH, PDFF estimated by MRI scanners of different field strength and at different sites, accurately classifies grades and changes in hepatic steatosis when histologic analysis of biopsies is used as a reference.

Quantification of liver fat deposition in obese and diabetic patients: A pilot study on the correlation with myocardium and periapical fat content☆

TL;DR: In this paper , the contents of liver and cardiac fat with varying degrees of NAFLD in an obese group and a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) group were quantitatively measured in regions of interest of the liver, myocardium, and periapical adipose tissue.

Assessing breast density using the chemical-shift encoding-based proton density fat fraction in 3-T MRI

TL;DR: In this article , the proton density fat fraction (PDFF) was used as a quantitative biomarker for fat tissue concentration in breast MRI and correlate mean breast PDFF to mammography.

Metabolic Stress Index Including Mitochondrial Biomarker for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Hepatic Steatosis

TL;DR: MSI-S, as a novel non-invasive index, based on mitochondrial stress biomarker FGF21 effectively predicted steatosis, and may increase the population that could be excluded from further evaluation, reducing unnecessary invasive investigations more effectively than other indices.
