Overview

There are no other imaging findings associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by elastography

Two-dimensional shear wave elastography [SWE]) can estimate liver stiffness measurements: "LS of 8 and 12.5 kPa represent generally accepted cut-off values for F3 and F4 fibrosis. LS highly correlates with portal pressure, and esophageal varices are likely at values >20 kPa."[1]

  • LS of 8 suggests F3 fibrosis
  • LS of 12.5 kPa suggests F4 fibrosis

A more recent study suggests lower cutoffs[2]:

  • LS of 6 suggests F2 fibrosis
  • LS of 7 suggests F3 fibrosis
  • LS of 11 kPa suggests F4 fibrosis

The FibroScan can measure LSM by SWE

Magnetic resonance elastography

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) may be more accurate than elastography[3]

Hepatic steatosis

Hepattic steatosis can be measured with the Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP).[4][2]

Other imaging

CT scan: "≤ 40 Hounsfield units indicating > 30% hepatic steatosis"[5].
