Fatty Liver: Imaging Patterns and Pitfalls

Abstract: Fat accumulation is one of the most common abnormalities of the liver depicted on cross-sectional images. Common patterns include diffuse fat accumulation, diffuse fat accumulation with focal sparing, and focal fat accumulation in an otherwise normal liver. Unusual patterns that may cause diagnostic confusion by mimicking neoplastic, inflammatory, or vascular conditions include multinodular and perivascular accumulation. All of these patterns involve the heterogeneous or nonuniform distribution of fat. To help… Show more

“…The latter form of FLD is closely related to obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome (4). The prevalence of non-alcoholic FLD in the general population of the United States is estimated to be approximately 15% (16). Indeed, this disease is the most common cause of abnormal liver function tests in adults (17).…”

“…Özellikle onkolojik hasta takibinde US ile tespit edilen fokal karaciğer lezyonlarını olası metastazdan ayırmak için noninvazif ve güvenilir bir yöntem olarak MRG'den yararlanılabilir. Bu hastalarda dış faz görüntülerdeki sinyal kaybı fokal yağlanmayı düşündürürken, karaciğerin diğer alanları sinyal kaybına uğrarken lezyon bölgesinde korunan sinyal yağlanmadan korunmuş alanı işaret eder [28].…”

“…Todavia, não se identificou esse processo no presente estudo com a realização da RM. Supõe-se que as conseqüências do insulto isquêmico para o fígado ocorrem em dimensões menores que o poder de resolução da RM, apesar dessas alterações endoteliais terem sido já comprovadas em outras pesquisas 18 . No entanto, pode-se perceber que esses resultados pareceram confirmar a hipótese de Weinstein (1982) de que a lesão hepática ocorre ao nível endotelial sinusoidal intimal 1 .…”

“…Assim, os exames de imagens RESSONÂNCIA MAGNÉTICA HEPÁTICA EM PUÉRPERAS ESTÁVEIS COM SÍNDROME HELLP são fundamentais para essas finalidades [15][16][17][18][19] . Na literatura, revisando-se os bancos de dados MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, SCIELO e SCOPUS, encontram-se relatos de casos e séries de casos abordando principalmente as complicações da síndrome.…”
