The Pilot Study Of ～1H Magnetic-resonance Spectroscopy To Quantitatively Evaluate The Fatty Liver

Objective We analyze the feature of diffuse fatty liver's ¹H magnetic resonancespectroscopy(¹H MRS) graphic, then investigate the relationship between lipid peakand fatty liver, by this way ,we approach the feasibility of quantitative detecting fattyliver by ¹H MR spectroscopy(¹H MRS) imaging.Methods First, we bolting 28 patients with diffuse fatty liver and 20 normalcontrast by Ultrasonography, then divide the patients to three group(light, midrange,Severity);second, all person scanned by MR plain, ¹H MRS imaging, acquired H₂Opeak and lipid peak;at last, The peak value was measured and the areas under thepeaks were calculated by the software and compare the concordance with the results ofultrasonography.Results The results of ¹H MRS were in according with the results of ultrasonographyexcept one example. H₂O peak hasn't obvious difference between these fatty liverpatients and normal contrast(P>0.05 ) , but lipid peak has obvious difference betweenthese two groups and in case of fatty liver(P<0.005).Conclusion ¹H MRS imaging provides the possibility of quantitative detecting fattyliver.
