From: Novel equation to determine the hepatic triglyceride concentration in humans by MRI: diagnosis and monitoring of NAFLD in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery

Figure 4

Multi-echo MRI fat fractions positively correlate with the hepatic triglyceride concentration. A) Correlation between the Folch values and the multi-echo MRI fat fraction in human livers (n =129). Box includes the resultant equation that predicts the Folch values from multi-echo MRI fat fractions. B) Calibration plot between the measured and estimated Folch values using the prediction formula [Folch = 5.082 + (432.104 * multi-echo MRI fat fraction)]. Dots represent the values of each case. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
