Recently, the number of patients who has fatty liver is
increasing and fat deposition of the liver (Lfat) can be
a confounding variable in quantitative MRI. In this
study, we tried to assess the effect of Lfat on
multi-parametric MRI values at 3.0T MRI. There was a
significant correlation between T2 value and Lfat and
between T2* value and Lfat. However, there was no
significant correlation between Lfat and other MR
parameters (T1, ADC, complex-,shear- and loss modulus).
Hence, Lfat should be adjusted when T2/T2* values were
used as quantitative parameter for the evaluation of
focal or diffuse liver disease
