Abstract

BACKGROUND. Precontrast CT is an established means of evaluating for hepatic steatosis; postcontrast CT has historically been limited for this purpose. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of portal venous phase postcontrast CT in detecting at least moderate hepatic steatosis using liver and spleen attenuation measurements determined by an automated artif…
