The application performance of MRI-PDFF detection values of different hepatic lobes in diagnosing liver steatosis.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic resonance imaging derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) is becoming increasingly important for assessing liver steatosis, which is traditionally diagnosed via liver biopsy. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of MRI-PDFF in detecting liver steatosis by comparing its values from various liver lobes-the right posterior hepatic lobe (RPHL), right anterior hepatic lobe (RAHL), left inner hepatic lobe (LIHL), left outer hepatic lobe (LOHL), the mean value of four hepatic lobes (M-PDFF), and the highest value of four hepatic lobes (H-PDFF)-against biopsy results. The findings indicated that MRI-PDFF exhibited strong performances in identifying liver steatosis in 125 patients, with area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) values of 0.870 for R
