Overview
MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of NAFLD. An MRI is one of the best tools in imaging modalities available to diagnose NAFLD. An MRI is simple to test which allows quantification of the hepatic steatosis. MRI has a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 93% in diagnosing NAFLD. However, it uses is limited because of the cost.
MRI
- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of NAFLD. Findings on MRI suggestive NAFLD include:[1][2]
- MRI helps in especially for longitudinal follow-up of patients with NAFLD.
- Another kind of MRI is magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) which reflects fat in the whole liver like triglycerides in a specific volume; and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) .[5]
