Feasibility of non-enhanced CT for assessing longitudinal changes in hepatic steatosis.

To evaluate the feasibility of computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of the change in hepatic steatosis (HS) in longitudinal follow-up by employing pathological HS as the reference standard.We retrospectively evaluated 38 living liver donor candidates (27 men and 11 women; mean age, 29.5 years) who underwent liver biopsy twice and had liver CT scans within 1 week of each biopsy.
