Abstract

We conclude that the use of test objects allows an accurate and reproducible noninvasive quantitative assessment of hepatic fat infiltration in humans. This technique may prove useful in the evaluation of the natural course and treatment of hepatic steatosis as well as in the assessment of donor livers prior to transplantation.
