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

TLDR
MR imaging-PDFF showed promise for assessment of hepatic steatosis grade in patients with NAFLD, and was significantly correlated with histologic steatotic grade.
Abstract
MR imaging with proton density fat fraction (PDFF) permitted high overall accuracy with moderate sensitivity and high specificity for classification of dichotomized steatosis grade, and these results support the conduct of further studies to help validate MR imaging–PDFF as a biomarker of hepatic steatosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Clinical practice guideline for body composition assessment based on upper abdominal magnetic resonance images annotated using artificial intelligence

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a standardization of data acquisition, utilization, and storage for AI systems that target the automatic quantification of body composition, which is recommended for surgeons, clinical researchers, and radiologists who focus on body composition analysis and obesity-related topics.

In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy of hyperpolarized [1-13C] pyruvate in a male guinea pig model of life-long Western diet consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of chronic, lifelong exposure to Western Diet (WD) in a model of NAFLD and identify cellular metabolite changes and correlations related to enzyme activity were investigated using hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) MRI techniques.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: a proposal for grading and staging the histological lesions

TL;DR: There are no systems for grading necroinflammatory activity or for staging fibrosis as exist for various other forms of chronic liver disease and this study proposes a grading and staging system that reflects the unique histological features of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Sampling variability of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a length of at least 25 mm is necessary to evaluate fibrosis accurately with a semiquantitative score, because variability in the distribution of fibrosis within the liver is a major limitation when using more accurate methods such as automated image analysis.

Sampling variability of liver biopsy in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Histologic lesions of NASH are unevenly distributed throughout the liver parenchyma; therefore, sampling error of liver biopsy can result in substantial misdiagnosis and staging inaccuracies.
