To develop a simplified method to quantify liver fat using computed tomography (CT) fat % index (CTFPI) compared to liver spleen method (CTL/S, CTL-S).
Noncontrast CT of the liver was performed in 89 patients (overweight, obese, severely obese) to quantify fat, using the following: CTFPI=[(65-patient HU)/65]×100, normal live r=65 HU.
There was a strong linear correlation between CTFPI and the standard method of assessing liver fat using CTL/S (r=-0.901), CTL-S (r=-0.911). Hepatic HU and CTFPI were significantly different in the severely obese group compared to other two groups (P<.05).
Significant correlation indicates equal diagnostic accuracy of the two methods in appropriately calibrated scanners.
与肝脏脾脏法(CTL/S、CTL-S)相比,开发一种使用计算机断层扫描(CT)脂肪百分比指数(CTFPI)量化肝脏脂肪的简化方法。
对89例(超重、肥胖、严重肥胖)患者进行肝脏非增强CT扫描以量化脂肪,使用以下公式:CTFPI = [(65 - 患者HU)/65]×100,正常肝脏 = 65 HU。
CTFPI与使用CTL/S(r = -0.901)、CTL-S(r = -0.911)评估肝脏脂肪的标准方法之间存在强线性相关性。与其他两组相比,严重肥胖组的肝脏HU和CTFPI有显著差异(P <.05)。
显著相关性表明在适当校准的扫描仪中,这两种方法具有相同的诊断准确性。
