Abstract
Fatty liver is nowadays a main factor causing chronic liver diseases. It is defined as the deposition of increasing amounts of triglycerides in the liver cells. About 55-90% of diabetic and morbid obese patients are at a great risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). By the histological view, NAFLD is considered a large term representing isolated fatty infiltration to non-alcoholic steato hepatitis (NASH).The gold standard for estimation of fatty liver is the histopathological analysis by hepatic percutaneous sample. To avoid the hazards of liver biopsy, there are multiple non-invasive techniques to assess the hepatic fat. Both ultrasound and CT have low fat positive prediction. In our study we performed multiple MR based techniques to assess hepatic steatosis as chemical shift (dual echo) and MR spectroscopy. We used these techniques to shed light on the role of MRI in evaluation of degree of fatty infiltration of liver and its relationship to body mass index.
