Quantitative MRI for Monitoring Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Test-Retest Repeatability Study.

Background: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging metrics iron-corrected T1 (cT1) and liver fat from proton density fat-fraction (PDFF) are both commonly used as noninvasive biomarkers for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH); however, their repeatability in this population has rarely been characterized.

Purpose: To quantify the variability of cT1 and liver fat fraction from PDFF in patients with biopsy-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and MASH.

Study Type: Prospective, single center.
