Current status of imaging in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Figure 7 Hepatic steatosis on magnetic resonance imaging. A, B: In phase (A) and out of phase (B) gradient echo T1-weighted images of the abdomen demonstrate signal dropout on the out of phase image due to the presence of microscopic (intracellular) fat deposition in the liver; C: A fat only image via the Dixon method demonstrates diffuse fat accumulation as evidenced by increased T1 signal within the liver.
