Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM 2) has a high prevalence
and appears as an important cause of morbidity and death
in many countries of the western world. It has a
multi-systemic scope and its chronic complications
include retinopathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular disease
and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) . If the
link between vision, neurological, cardiac complications
and DM 2 has been clearly established, the association
between DM 2 and NAFLD has been more recently
recognized. In this work, multi-echo gradient-echo
intra-voxel incoherent-motion imaging are applied to
non-invasively identify staging biomarkers of NAFLD in
the context of liver complications associated with Type
II Diabetes Mellitus.
