Multi-echo MRI fat fractions positively correlate with the grade of steatosis estimated by histopathological measurements. A) Representative multi-echo MRI images showing different degrees of water and fat intensity, and fat fraction in different patients. B) Multi-echo MRI fat fractions positively correlate with the grade of steatosis estimated by histopathological measurements in human livers (n =129). Dots represent the values of each case. C) Multi-echo MRI fat fraction mean values of each steatosis grading group (0 to 3 scale). CV, coefficient of variation; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; Std. Dev, standard deviation.
