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.

Noninvasive, Quantitative Assessment of Liver Fat by MRI-PDFF as an Endpoint in NASH Trials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the role and utility of MRI-PDFF as a quantitative and noninvasive imaging-based biomarker in early-phase NASH trials, including potential sample size reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver fat imaging—a clinical overview of ultrasound, CT, and MR imaging

TL;DR: MRI proton-density fat fraction is currently the most accurate and precise imaging biomarker to quantify liver steatosis and is the most appropriate noninvasive end point for steatotic reduction in clinical trials and therapy response assessment.

In vivo characterization of the liver fat 1H MR spectrum

TL;DR: The triglyceride model can characterize human liver fat spectra, which allows more accurate determination of liver fat fraction from MRI and MRS, and agreed closely with spectroscopic measurement.

Utility of magnetic resonance imaging versus histology for quantifying changes in liver fat in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease trials

TL;DR: MRI‐ PDFF correlated well with MRS‐PDFF and was more sensitive than the histology‐determined steatosis grade in quantifying increases or decreases in the liver fat content, and could be used to quantify changes in liver fat in future clinical trials.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: MR Imaging of Liver Proton Density Fat Fraction to Assess Hepatic Steatosis

TL;DR: MR imaging-PDFF showed promise for assessment of hepatic steatosis grade in patients with NAFLD, and was significantly correlated with histologic steatotic grade.

Relaxation Effects in the Quantification of Fat using Gradient Echo Imaging

TL;DR: Quantification of fat has been investigated using images acquired from multiple gradient echoes and results indicate that quantification is most accurate at low flip angles with a small number of echoes (to minimize spectral broadening effects).
