Volumetric Liver Fat Fraction Determines Grade of Steatosis More Accurately Than Controlled Attenuation Parameter in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
HepaFat-Scan is a magnetic resonance imaging-based method for quantification of hepatic steatosis by volumetric liver fat fraction (VLFF) measurement. This research aimed to validate VLFF and to compare it with…
