title: Imaging the fatty liver.
abstract: Even though various imaging techniques are available to detect fat, chemical-shift imaging is the most accurate for both qualitative and quantitative measurement of fat. It can be very useful in liver studies, not only because it definitively demonstrates fatty liver but also because it improves lesion detection and characterization in some cases.
