Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the leading causes of chronic liver disease with an estimated overall prevalence of 25% in the global adult population. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD. However, the risk of complications and collection of only 1/50,000 of the total liver volume, limits this diagnostic method in an unselected population. Non-invasive diag-nostic methods are warranted, and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver for NAFLD has shown promising results.
