Ultrasound
Imaging studies are often obtained during evaluation process. Ultrasonography reveals a "bright" liver with increased echogenicity. A fatty liver has lower density than spleen on CT scan and fat appears bright in T1 weighted MRI. No radiological modality is however able to distinguish simple steatosis from advanced NASH. Histological diagnosis by liver biopsy is sought when assessment of severity is indicated.
