Non-invasive quantification of liver fat content by different Gradient Echo MRI sequences in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Introduction: Non-invasive quantification of liver fat by Gradient echo (GRE) Technique is an interesting issue in quantitative MRI. Despite the numerous advantages of this technique, fat measurement maybe biased by confounding and effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GRE pulse sequences with different and weighting for liver fat quantification in patients with...
متن کاملReproducibility of 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance spectroscopy for measuring hepatic fat content.
PURPOSE To investigate reproducibility of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) to measure hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC). MATERIALS AND METHODS In 24 subjects, HTGC was evaluated using (1)H-MRS at 3.0 Tesla. We studied "between-weeks" reproducibility and reproducibility of (1)H-MRS in subjects with fatty liver. We also studied within liver variability and within day reproduc...
متن کاملHepatic Angiomyolipoma with Minimal Intratumoral Fat Content
We report a rare case of hepatic angiomyolipoma with minimal fat content. The low fat content led to an incorrect preoperative diagnosis. A 38-year-old man who was a carrier of hepatitis B virus infection incidentally presented with a hepatic tumor. His serum alpha-fetoprotein level was normal. Ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed, heterogeneous hypoechoic nonencapsulated liver tumor m...
متن کاملNon-invasive and quantitative evaluation of hepatic fat accumulation in ob/ob mice
Introduction: Alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty livers are highly prevalent in human populations and may develop into steatohepatitis and in some cases into cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has become as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic syndromes. We have isolated a novel AMPK pathway activator cryptotanshinone from Salvia mi...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Electrical Impedance Tomography for Multi-Scale Detection of Liver Fat Content
Introduction: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). While Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive gold standard to detect fatty liver, we demonstrate a low-cost and portable electrical impedance tomography (EIT) approach with circumferential abdominal electrodes for liver conductivity measurements. Methods and Results: A finite elem...
